Price: Poor
It seems cheap until you start to realize all the little “fees” that accompany living here..
Spending close to $1200 for a two bedroom where you pay a $500 deposit, where $250 of that is non-refundable. If you have pets you are required to throw down another $500 deposit and $250 of that is non-refundable. Pretty lame… I’ve lived in apartments across the country and have never had to pay a non-refundable fee just to move in – instead they would examine the condition of the apartment at the end of the lease and give you a refund based on merit and condition left. Here you are automatically dinged $500 just to move in and live in the place.. Competing complexes located in the same area are far more competitive in pricing and have far more reasonable deposits accompanied with rent.
The rent seems cheap until you realize that utilities aren’t included in the rent. The trash removal fee is about $14 dollars, the combination of gas/electric/water/sewer/trash comes out to be $100-$200 monthly – not much you can do there. But what is annoying is that your Water/Sewer/Trash is billed through a third party company separate from Evergreen Heights where you have to write a check and mail it to them if you want to escape the $7.50 “convenience fee” that is associated with paying directly online..
Apartment Condition: Poor
The condition of the apartment once we moved in was substandard. The apartment had bent and broken blinds, what little cabinets and shelves were there are in poor and deteriorating shape – often having bent up corners, doors coming off the hinges and the bottom of the cabinets look like they are about to fall from their shelving. We found an electrical socket that didn’t work from the start (and no, it’s not the socket that is connected to the light switch.) And the door knob to our backdoor decided to randomly fall off..
