Review for Lost Creek Apartments

I've lived in many apartments over the years, between going to college for two different degrees and a lot of moving in between, but I've never experienced a complex as bad as Lost Creek.

The only good things I can say about this place are 1) the location is pretty good; 2) the two-bedroom units are not bad, although somewhat small for the asking price; 3) the laundry and workout facilities are quite nice; 4) overall, the grounds are pretty, but they're not maintained too well.

Here are the bad things: 1) constant smell of smoke and animal feces both inside and outside apts 2) management who say they'll do things but never follow through 3) the thinnest walls ever constructed--you'll hear every sound as your neighbors use the bathroom, walk around, procreate, and breathe 4) each apt gets one parking spot; don't expect to ever be able to have anyone come over, because the few noncovered spaces are never empty 5) at least once per week, people have their cars broken into (perhaps because of the proximity to the trax station and the seedy businesses on state) 6) most appliances, paint, carpets, vents, and other parts of the apartment are in bad shape and should be replaced (I lived in two different units and this was true for both) 7) when you want to renew your lease, the price will increase about $50 a month--or more--every time

In short, avoid Lost Creek like the plague that it is. You can find much better deals on much bigger and nicer places within a few blocks of the place, and you'll be glad you did.
