Review Title:   Horrible Place To Live
Reviewer:   Anonymous
Review Date:   9/24/2007

I have been living here since December 2006 and from the day we moved in it has been an Awful experience. Before I moved in I had heard bad things about this place concerning drug use and poor management from people who had perviously lived here, so I talked to the apartment manager, and she reassured me that those "rumors" were false. Their not, and I've witnessed it myself. The day we were supposed to move in she told us we couldnt until 5:00pm. That was a huge hassle for us with moving and she wouldn't budge on the time either. That day I knew I wasn't going to be able to oversee the move in myself because she insisted on that time. By the time I was able to see our new apartment it was 10:00pm and when I walked in the carpets were DISGUSTING, there were roaches in the sink and the dishwasher smelled like mildew and it made the whole apartment smell. I went down to the management and complained for a week straight about the all the stains on the carpet, and they didn't do a thing about. Finally i had to sit down with the apartment manager talk about them replacing the carpets, she was not very cooprative with me, I asked her when the last time the replaced the carpets and she didn't answer which i can only assume that means she never has. I finally made her get someone to come a look at it and thats when they replaced it, only after i had moved ALL my furnisher in. The roaches, which are still here, NEVER got taked care of, even after every single treatment they could do, not to mention what a hassle it is to remove everything in our kitchen cabinets everytime they came to spray. After that a worse problem came, MAGGOTS. The maggots which were coming from inside the walls were so bad that my boyfriend and i had to take are dog and leave until they came to get rid of them. The children that runaround the apartment complex unsupervised is another problem. The children between the ages of 3 to 12 run around at night unsupervised making all kinds of noises, throwing stuff up against the building and swimming in the pool by themselves. I complained to management, and what do you know nothing happened. Not only is that annoying, but also unsafe. A child could drown is the pool with no parent there to save him/her. Then the apartment manager told us that we had to get rid of our dog because other people saw her and now want to get a big dog too. Not our problem. When we went down to clear up the matter with the apartment manager she told us that we could take our $600 purebreed dog to the humane society. When we told her were not doing that and our dog is on the application and lease she tried to act like she couldn't see that our dog was on there. It wasn't until I got up and pointed out that it was on the both the lease and application, that she backed down. But she still tried to say that she didn't look those over (then what is her job for) and if we wanted to renew our lease in December that we couldn't if we still had the dog. I let her know that wouldn't be happening. Ever since then she has been harrassing us about our dog and trying to get around our lease contract. The newest threat is that "neighboors" complained and that we had to removed our dog within 24 hours or someone will enter the apartment and remove her themselves. Lets just say thats against the law and never happened. Overall I can't WAIT till I can move into another apartment, under professional management. I'm counting down the days...
