I have, in the last 11 years, lived in 8 apartments, 2 houses, and a single-wide... no I am not that unstable and unsettled, I was a student and like any good student 1000 miles from home you sign short term leases and you move everytime your lease is up. That being said, I have lived in some crappy apartments, some nice apartments, had some crappy management and some great management--- I know apartments. Bateswood Manor/Regents Walk are soooo not worth the time, the energy, or the money! Office staff stinks and is always changing, they don't return calls, they have ZERO follow through or follow up, they are lazy, disinterested, and rude. So that covers the crappy property staff but it doesn't end there (and I have never lived in one place that was over all crappy, it has been one thing or the other but not both). My oven has been broken for 8 months now, my neighbor can't park (assigned parking) and the office people have been told several times, and they wont do anything about it, the same neighbor plays her music so loud it wakes me up @ 3 and 4 in the morning, which has also been complained about w/ nothing done. I even asked if I could be re-assigned a parking spot, they said ""no."" I asked about moving apartments, they said ""when your lease is up"" but to go from one to another, unless I add a bedroom, will cost $200... that's before moving expenses!!!! DAM people DO SOMETHING!!! I pay my rent just like everyone else who hasn't gotten eviction notices. Maybe they don't like white girls, young looking girls, or smart people... I don't know but when I signed my lease I wanted it to be somewhere I could stay for a few years, I am tired of moving, I don't see this as that place. I am debating on staying 1 more yr (to show I can live in one place for that long) or just saying to helI w/ looking stable, I'm outta' here... If I didn't already live here and I knew all this I never would have wasted my time, energy, or money leasing this dump.
Pros: Location
Cons: Everything else
