3400 looks great from the outside and the location and amenities are very appealing however the last 15 months have been horrible. My experiences may be rare and others might have had a wonderful experience living there- lucky them! I would rate this place Negative 5 if I could. Please consider the following before renting. 1. Management is a joke. I've spoken to them on several occasions about issues and they may make an initial attempt to fix the problem however they do not follow through to manage the issue and make sure it doesn't happen again. 2. Neighbors are rude, loud, lazy and self entitled. Everyone pays a premium to live here however some believe they are living in a hotel and don't need to pick up after themselves. Expect the following from the neighbors. a) dog shit/piss in the lobby for someone else to clean it. The best is the dog shit in the summer left in front of the building so the smell of hot shit wafts up into your apartment. b) rubbish left in the lobby, halls, elevator, front of building, in the garage and stairwells; this includes dog shit, vomit, spilled drinks, food, milkshakes, and large pieces of furniture for you to maneuver around. c) Rubbish bins: neighbors too lazy to open the bin door and just set it in the room to pile up and smell. Or they jam large bags in the bin and block the chute. d) the small asian community are all related somehow yet they live in different buildings so when they want to see each other they yell from outside for several minutes until their family member throws their keys from the balcony to let them in; not sure why they dont use the call box - apparently yelling is more effective late at night or early in the morning. 3. Front gate and lobby entrance "security" is a joke. People follow you through the front gate and also follow you into the building - nice to know a potential murderer is locked in the elevator with you. 4. Dog regulations don't exist. I've seen illegal breeds, encountered several aggressive dogs and the owners can't control them. the dog park is ALWAYS full of shit and when you report it to management they expect YOU to monitor who is not picking up after their dog by taking photos of them or describing them and their dog. I was told the park was cleaned every day, that is not the case. expect a few vet bills from exposure to dog feces and who knows what else! 5. Baby Ring. this is a fun one. there are several pregnant asian girls who all live in the pent houses. They walk in a group around the property followed by an older asian man or woman. they all get in a van in the morning and go 'somewhere' together. Supposedly this issue has been brought to the FBI however nothing illegal was discovered. If you have several complaints from your residents about how uncomfortable this situation is - why do you continue to rent to these people? 6. Move in: we were told that the apartment was move in ready and that we could not push the move in date out. After paying double rent our first month, on the day of move in the list of issues was so extensive that I had to have formal conversations with management/maintenance about misrepresenting "move in ready". We encountered on our first day, several broken appliance, clogged toilets, several things were falling apart, including an item that fell from above and landed on my roommates head! The mold in my bathroom was never properly cleaned, instead they simply painted over it and now it's seeping through no matter how much I try to clean it. Our compensation? one professional cleaning service. awesome. 7. Floors/ceilings/walls are very thin. Upstairs neighbors seem to be either descendents from a rare hippo/human breed who stomp so loudly at all times of the day OR they simply don't have toes and walk on their heels. They also seem to exhibit super human strength because the force at which they open doors, drawers and cabinets is just as loud as when they shut them. I can also hear their cell phone on vibrate and you can imagine what else. if you complain about noise, security asks to enter your apartment to listen to the noise, WTF?!! I should also mention the barking dogs and crying kids that don't shut the fuck up! 8. Landscape/property maintenance. be prepared to hear weed wackers/leaf blowers before 8am M-S. also if you happen to be in the dog park when the leaf blower comes through - beware, he doesn't care you are there and will continue to blow shit all around you. Ultimately this gated community is only meant to keep the bullshit inside so as to not let it creep out into society. DO NOT LIVE HERE or you will regret it.
