First of let me say this place is awful! I have lived here a year now after moving in with my boyfriend after he had been here a year. We cant wait to get out in a few weeks. Here is my list of whats wrong with this apartment complex:
1. The air conditioning/heat does not work - During the winter we had to buy electric heaters for our bedrooms and living room. This summer our thermometer has been set to 68 however the apartment has never gotten below 72 and runs constantly. We had to turn our thermometer up just so we wouldnt have another 160 electric bill like we had last month. So in summer dont expect an electric bill under $100 and in the winter dont expect a gas bill of under $150. Even this summer my gas bill was $50 which I have no idea why because we dont even use any gas.
2. Rodents and insects- We have caught over five mice in our apartment since I have been here. They seem to have gone away for the time being but who knows. I have also started recently seeing what I think are cockroaches. I have seen them in the morning in our bathtubs and sinks.
3. Management- I was chased down the street by our neighbors pitbull one morning on my way to class. I was terrified. We called the property manager but nothing was done about this dog, and oh yea the people who owned this dog also had another 90 lb dog. Were not ""allowed"" to have any dogs over 50 lbs according to our lease so my question is how were these people allowed to have 2 90lb dogs let alone one of them a pitbull. Another thing; these dogs would be up all night barking their brains out. They would keep us up all night with their barking. We called the landlord many many times and nothing was done.
4. Parking and Theft- Parking sucks. They have like 8 spaces in the back of the complex that you have to have a permit to park at which is free. but they give one to everyone who moves in and its a free for all. If you dont get a space you more than likely have to park way up 13th ave and believe me you dont want to walk alone down that street at night. My boyfriends car has been broken into while he was parked in the back parking and the management was on ""vacation"" the week it happened so they couldnt look at the security tapes.
All in all this place sucks. Yes it is only $500 dollars for a two bedroom decently located to campus but after you pay all your way too high utility bills your going to be paying well over $700 a month for a shitty apartment.
It is definitely not worth your time or money.
