OK, so I have had a few problems the two years I have lived here. I shouldn't have been stupid and renewed my lease last year, but you know how things go - I just didn't get around to it in time. From day 1 there were problems, as they didn't have my apartment ready on time. It took them a month to come out and finish painting. Then came the huge rat infestation at the garbage dumpster which took them 3 months to resolve. Rats actually lived a procreated in holes. These were giant cat sized beasts - not your standard house rat. Parking is abysmal - people are always parking in fire lanes and blocking you in. There is a garage, but only if you live in the garaged building. The people that should - don't park in the garage and that creates too few spaces for everyone else. Watch your neighbors if you do move here. There will be several apartments near you with 6 or more people living there. I also hope you like loud music and/or the smell of curry. Management staff is very nice, but also very ineffective. I was without air conditioning for 3 weeks. You have to make sure to follow up on any kind of service request, or it will not get done. I don't fault the people that work here too much, because they genuinely seem to care (or at least the ones that speak English). They just seem very understaffed - especially in the maintenance department. This is an old property and it is going to need a lot of extra work. The gates won't work for more than two weeks in a row. Also, beware of bugs. I have had my apartment infested with Ants last fall. This summer, a new bug has come up. When I come home I find abut 30 or so little multi-legged worm creatures just laying on my floor, walls, ceiling - everywhere. At night it is even worse. This is probably only a problem in the back half of the apartments that face the woods. So, if you don't need a lot, and can live with a lot of defects and poor service - this is the place for you.
