Review for Laurel Pointe Apartments

the apartment itslf was good. the large one bedroom with the creened in porch was more room than we thought for the price. the carpet on th eother hand was cheap and the seams began to show after a few months of wear and vacuuming. the maintenance guy Sandy is very friendly and fixes your problems pretty fast. the staff in the office was nice too. we lived in the fron of the complex near the office- this side has some older quieter residents so we liked it. the rear on the other hand is loud and teens hang outlate at night-i do not feel safe jogging over ther after dark. there is no security but it does not seem to be needed. beware if you live near the sandpit playground thing since the kids and teens are very loud and scream constanly for no reason. parking is fine for us and we have 2 cars, the pool is cleaned by Sandy regularly, and the complex is in perfect location to walk to or drive anywhere. there is not any car noise even though the highway is close since it is off the road some ways and behind the kmart. we love our downstairs neighbor- an older woman who has a little dog and has lived there for 20 years(so she says). There was a bit of a bug problem in the summer but with a few foggers and house spray that cleared up. look out for holes in your screen on the screened in porch that may let bugs in(we patched up ours ourselves).
Overall for the money the place aint too bad nad i like it. it may not be gated, have garages, security, or a jacuzzi, but it was our home and we loved it. very nice neighborly feeling where i lived and i would move back in if i live in jacksonville again. If you do not mind living next to diverse people- spanish speaking, french speaking, and all in between then its fine. obseve where you will be living
