Great Place With A Few Oddities....

Overall, this is a great place to live. It's in a great location, the management is nice and very responsive, the neighbors are all nice and respectful, and the apts are huge and bordering on luxurious at a very low price. No apartement is perfect though...


The entire time we've lived here we've had a problem with our water. Sometimes it comes out scalding hot, sometimes freezing cold, sometimes just right. There seems to be no ryhme or reason to it. Sometimes it's as simple as the hot and cold are switched, other times it will only come out hot/cold no mater how you turn the nob. I've been burned rather badly in the shower and had to take ice showers on multiple occasions. I've also had a few loads of laundry ruined. The tempurature is random at every faucet. I don't know how it's even possible, but I saw steam once when I flushed the toliet. It seems like a pretty small thing to complain about, but it gets old really fast.


There is a trash compactor on the property. I've never had any trouble operating it, but it jams from time to time if not used properly. When this happens, people just start putting the trash around the compactor. This happens about once a month and last about 2-4 days before it's fixed. I really just looks bad when it happens, but I'm glad I live in the building across from the trash and not next to it.


Parking is usually pretty good, though the complex is really strict about it. There is visitor parking by the leasing office, but otherwise it is by permit only. You can get permits at the office for visitors that last up to a week. You have to be careful to park in the right spot (ie not in a carport or blocking a garage) or you will be towed. I see that tow truck around 4-5 days a week, mostly at night. The only times I seem to have any difficulty fining a spot is when I get home afer 9pm on a week night. That can be a bit frustrating because the visitor parking is a long walk away.


Those are really my only three complaints. The apartments are beautiful and extremely well kept. The complex is very kid and dog friendly and has a nice private feel to it. All the floorplans are very nice and have nice things going for them like large garden tubs, white on white kitchens and crown molding. I've had to call maintainence twice while here (the dryer had a weird smell when turned on and the AC died). Both times they were there in a few hours to fix the problem.


Overall, we love the apartment and are very happy here. If we weren't buying a house, we would probably stay here for a few more years.
