If you like living in Da HOOD, then this place is for you. If not, then I would recommend looking elsewhere.\r
\r
There are constantly cars being broken into, people busting windows on vehicles, even some apartments have been broken into. The response from Management is ""well, we didn't actually see it, so there's really nothing we can do"".\r
\r
MOST of the windows won?t stay up and/or are missing screens, etc.\r
\r
If you like roachBUGS, then this place is for you as well. I would highly recommend you DEBUG it yourself BEFORE moving in.\r
\r
The outside lighting is HORRIBLE, as more than half the time there is NONE. Many of the stairwells are unlit. When you fall down the stairs because you cannot see, instead of fixing the lights they will joke about ""not suing"".\r
\r
There was a fire in one of the buildings in April of 2007 and it took literally FIVE MONTHS before they got any type of outside lighting working for the tenants who remained, and that lighting is still very poor. It was nearly 11 months until they put in a new laundry room and a year later there is STILL NO ELEVATOR. But in that time they did paint the stairs and railings. How nice, that's what those tenants needed, some fresh paint.\r
\r
There are parking garages in a couple of the buildings. If you are wanting a garage (and one is available), be forewarned that they LEAK whenever it rains, they are supposed to be LIT, but many times they are not, and there has been NUMEROUS vehicles broken into while garaged.\r
\r
You will have to squeeze around improperly parked vehicles when going to and from your own vehicle and trying to carry children, groceries, etc.\r
\r
Maintenance and Management there is an absolute joke.\r
\r
I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND this place, especially if you have young children, as the pedophile rate in this area is VERY, VERY HIGH as well.
Cons: Very high crime and theft, very lousy lighting, management doesn't seem to care
