The area is nice, near I-5, and Evergreen Hospital, but the rent is out of control! I have been here for two years, and every year, the rent jumps significantly! Currently, a two-bedroom is $1,050, and my rent is about to go up again! That is not even including water, sewer, and garbage, which just went up another $10 to over $60/month. It is really frustrating when I get up for work at 6;30, and the water that is supposed to go on my brown lawn is pouring down the middle of the driveway, on its way to the sewer, because no one listens when I tell them the sprinklers are out of adjustment.
There are also a lot of break-ins lately, two in the last three months. And the parking situation is bad. There is only one parking spot for each apartment, and one visitor spot for each 8 to 14 unit building.
The neighbors are nice, and it is quiet at night. These are the reasons I have yet to move, but after this rent increase, I will not stay any longer. The average two-bedroom in the area is two to three HUNDRED dollars less than what they are asking.
