Oak Glen Review

 
Reviewed by: Anonymous
Review Date: 6/25/2009
Rented: From 2006 To 2009
 
I've lived here for a couple of years and generally like it. It does have some Section 8 tendencies - some large immigrant families that are packed into 2 & 3 BR homes, families that let their disruptive (& LOUD) kids run loose through the property, families that don't do a good job of keeping their balconies or patios in order, etc. But only a small percentage of the units are section 8, so it isn't as though this is inner-city type of section 8 housing complex. And management does try to make sure the kids aren't too disruptive, but other than not renting to families, there's only so much they can do about that.

The one big issue I have with this complex is that walls between units are THIN. If you are unlucky enough to live in a unit next to a family with kids or next to neighbors that don't care how much noise they make, be prepared to wear earplugs or crank up the sound on your TV or stereo to drown out the noise from your neighbors.

Other than that, the property is well maintained, maintenance is usually pretty good about responding to problems within a day or so, and other than the families with noisy kids, my neighbors are really nice.

Oh, and the thing about the property inspections is that they are required to inspect a sample of units every year to satisfy the grant they got from the Metropolitan Housing Authority to reno the older townhouses. I do not mind a walkthrough of my place once a year (it used to be twice a year, now it is just once), as the inspections identify even the tiniest thing, sometimes things I didn't even notice. And whatever is identified as needing to be fixed, it is repaired ASAP. So even if the inspection is a bit of a nuisance once a year, I do appreciate the maintenance & upkeep of the property.
