This place used to be fabulous. Since the middle of last year, though, things have taken a turn for the worse!


The apartment has always been secure and everything went smoothly, until the middle of 2006. The garage gate was being kept open habitually so anyone could get in, and as a result we found out that car break-ins skyrocketed. My own motorcycle was among those vandalized during this time. The management, however, likes to emphasize how they are not responsible for any damage that is done, rather than taking meaningful steps to help with the situation.


The office staff seems to leave pretty much whenever they feel like it. Their office hours say they stay until 6pm, but I and my neighbors will arrive at 5:30 or 5:45 and the door will be locked, with no one in sight, making it impossible to retrieve urgent packages that may have been delivered.


On top of that, the late fees the management here imposes are ludicrous. I, fortunately, have not fallen victim to this swindle, but some of my neighbors regrettably have. One showed me a letter from the manager charging them $200 in late fees for being late on $2.60 on their rent. Basically they made a mistake in their addition and got hit hard for it. When they came back from a vacation to find this notice, they were not pleased.


To be fair, the appearance of the complex is quite nice, and is kept clean. The maintenance staff are on top of their game. I wish I could say the same of the management though. I suggest looking elsewhere, as there are many great properties in the Uptown neighborhood that don't suffer from the problems above.
