Apartment Review for Wilmington House Apartments

I love it here -- this has been a wonderful choice of apartment. I was living overseas when I started looking for an apartment in Dayton. I needed to find something before I returned to the US, so I began an internet search. I'm from Dayton, so I knew the area, but I'd been away awhile. I hit all the usual apartment search websites, and then I got a reply from Pene about Roscommon Place and Wilmington HOUSE. Her reply was the only one I got that felt like it came from a human being instead of an automated system. She sent me pictures of apartments, answered my e-mails promptly, and gave me all the info I needed to make a choice. She really worked with me. When I arrived in Dayton, I called her so I could view the apartment, though I was convinced just by what I had gotten on the internet from her that I wanted to live here. I saw the Wilmington HOUSE grounds, viewed the apartment, signed the lease, and moved in the next day. Meeting Pene was what sealed the deal for me -- she cares about her property, her tenants, and people. She runs it as a business, as it should be, but she runs it with a heart. I don't feel like I'm just a name on a lease with a rent check in hand. She has a huge heart and truly wants people to be comfortable living here. The complex is lovely and quiet, you can do a little gardening in front of the patio of a 1st floor apt, which I have, and there is plenty of parking. There is more than enough closet space and storage in a 1BR, and the appliances are more what you'd find in a house instead of an apartment. Maintenance issues are handled quickly -- my hot water heater was making some noise when I moved in, so Pene replaced it the next morning(most places would just tell you to keep using it until the hot water ran out). She and her staff really care about doing the right thing. The laundry room is excellent, with bigger washers that hold large loads. I feel safe and secure here. It's got a perfect location, with so much within walking distance -- Chase Bank, two other banks, CVS and RiteAid, Ace Hardware, coffee house and restaurants. Dot's Grocery is within walking distance, and they also have delivery. Budget Rental Car is just two blocks away. In fact, when I arrived the first day and mentioned to Pene that I was going to walk down to pick up my rental, she insisted on driving me there, since it was such a hot day. All in all, this was the perfect pick for me.
