I've lived here a year and a half and despite the management team's attempts to make the complex better, the complex and service in general are in poor condition.


Upon signing my lease, management said they would steam the carpets and paint the walls before my move-in date. When I went to move mystuff in a week later, the apartment had not been painted (who knows about the floors). I had to leave all of my things out from the wall for two more days while they painted and dried.


They also attempted to renovate the hallways by painting them, but other residents continue to come by and draw on the walls, or put foul language and graffitti up forcing management to paint again.


Management always shoves notes under the door. One note apparently gave notice of a change in parking rules. However, I never received the note and my boyfriend's car was towed as a result. I also never received a form they shoved under my door asking me if I wanted to renew my lease. As a result I started calling them about a month before my lease was set to expire and never got any word back from them until the day before I would have had to move at which point I got the call saying they were assuming I was moving because I hadn't given them my "intent to stay" form. They really ought to find a better policy for getting news around to residents.


They've also been promising a new gym since last summer. I believe I'll be moving out in Sept. and I bet I still won't see any sign of the "new gym."
