I moved to Albuquerque from Atlanta because of my job. I made a big mistake and signed my lease while in Atlanta (before seeing what I was getting myself into). Staff dishonest and unorganized. Do not live on the 1st floor. Walls are paper thin, you will hear the people above you, when they walk, use bathroom, pass gas, use bed that creaks, everything. Every little sound will eventually drive you nuts especially when you are trying to go to sleep. Parking is bad, they claim you will have a 1 car garage, but what they fail to mention is that based on the unit you are assigned you will not be able to park in front of the garage. If you are one of the unlucky one to have such a garage and have two cars-good luck finding a place to park for the second car. Also, you do not have access to your apartment from the garage unless you live in the townhouse style unit for over $1000/month. Most importantly, you have no storage in a 2bedrm apartment. My leasing agent had the audacity to tell me that's why we have garages and most people living here use the garage for storage. If they tell you that you will be getting an updated apartment do not be impressed until you check it out for yourself. The updates consist of white appliances (refrig, stove, dishwasher) with faded cabinets that seriously crying ""I need to be stained"". The washer and dryer are compact stacked on top of each other and fit in hallway closet or the pantry (if you get the 1 bedroom). Thus in the 1 bedroom you will be without an adequate food storage place. You will spend more time doing laundry because you can only do small loads at a time. It will be impossible to wash a large blanket, if you do the sound alone that the washer will make (I am having a slow painful death-please help) will make you think twice about washing such blanket again.
