While the closeness to main street and the UD campus are nice. Just about everything else about Towne Court (now Studio Green) falls very short.
I live just past the bend on Thorn Lane. My car has been broken into about 6 times in 1 year and I continue to see shattered window glass every week or so next to someones car. And this is while there is supposedly a police officer that "patrols" the area nightly. Also, being in one of the back buildings, there are constantly outside lights out which make using the back door to get to my car (which is much closer than using the front door) downright dangerous.
Maintenance likes to barge in while you yell "Just a minute" no matter what state of dress or undress you are in.
Studio Green now offers Cable Television and High Speed Internet in your rent for 25 dollars. I'm lucky to get 0.74mbps download speeds and a youtube video can take up to 25 minutes to load. Everyone in both complexes (Towne Court and Park Place Apartments) are on a shared 45mbps internet line which at times drops down to as low as 0.1mbps and is not optional.

The office staff is mostly nice, but after getting multiple electric bills for 90$+ in my studio apartment, I went to talk to the person in charge of the complex to make sure something wasn't wrong with the meter. After being told she would look into it, I recieved another 90$ bill the following month and went back to see her in which she informed me that she had no idea and needed copies of these bills. After bringing in copies of these bills and being told for a second time that it would be taken care of, I continued to receive bills upwards of 90$ and was told a third time to bring in copies of these bills and a written letter requesting it to be looked into. Still nothing was done.

They also guarantee a Bug Free Environment yet i'm often caught playing Cockroach Chase and having to kill household centipedes on a daily basis.

Overall, I pay 790$ a month for a studio apartment just short of 400 square foot, can not rely on the security of the complex and instead of fixing maintenance issues (like the hole that's been in my ceiling for a year now due to the complexes failure to shut off the water to the apartment above me while it was vacant and it flooded my apartment as well) while they spend millions on "renevations" that i have yet to see with the exception of "The Centre" of which i have never seen anyone use.
