Peppertree Apartments And Townhomes

I live in Peppertree Apartments for almost three years already. I tolerated it only because of its proximity to my workplace. Otherwise it is nothing special, the same worn carpet, coming-off wall paints, bad sound isolation (you hear everything from neighbors, even their bedtime activities), cheapest possible appliances, etc. etc. Nevertheless, management (namely Serci Dossett) always complains I pay too little in rent, that my apartment cost much more etc. etc., without even understanding how to keep long-term tenants who accurately pay rent and otherwise do not cause any trouble (said the incentives for long-term tenants were proposed, but I never received any letter about that!). Management call routine day-to-day maintenance work (keeping swimming pool and concrete sidewalks in shape, for instance) an excellent service not found anywhere else in Lawrence. Finally I get tired of this and will have to move. So, if you come to Lawrence, avoid this place, they just want squeeze out your money from you without providing adequate service. more

They get you on Satellite. It costs us (in a 3 br townhome) $40/month just for cable boxes! We pay $5/box each to DishNetwork AND it's added on to our rent. Then there is still the satellite service to pay for. Maintenance staff is much nicer than the office staff, and mistakes the maintenance make, in my experience, have been due to the imcompetency of the office staff (making incorrect notes about what needs to be fixed or writing our address down wrong). We pay $819 including our cable boxes. This was because we got a special 'deal' pro-rated. Construction on Kasold very annoying. If you can, request to live between two other units: your utilities will be cheaper this way. It is difficult for people who have never been here to find this place, if that is important to you. Office staff very weird about where you walk your dog. They have posted 'designated walking areas' (you can be fined for walking outside of these areas w/ your dog, or if you don't clean up after him/her). Windows very drafty. Pros: friendly maintenance staff that responds quickly, we have a fireplace, w/d hookups, garage, you can probably hide a pet without them noticing you haven't paid the deposit Cons: expensive satellite, nearby road construction, crazy office staff, noisy neighbors (4 kids on one side, students on the other), difficult to give directions to, drafty windows more
