Review for Alden Park Towers Apartments

It's been since 1993 that I have resided at Alden Park. Initially, the move was a positive - a few querks, but good. The apartment complex is undergoing major renovations, such as new window treatment - looks great for consistency. The apartments were even furnished with new kitchen appliances (refrigerator, stove, and diswasher) a few years back (nice). The quality of tenants has fallen to a 2 on a 5 scale. It appears that anyone can move in now. There is much loitering in the halls, stairwells - garbage in the hallways, elevators, and stairwells. On-site management is not the greatest - bad attitidues and no follow-up, but they want the rent on time. Maintenance is just average - slow response time, and no follow-up. Also, the work is not the best - appears to be a quick fix job, and the tenant is left to clean up the mess left behind. If Alden Park wants to compete as water front prestige, management (external/internal) will need to step up to the plate and welcome the challenge.
