Wow, they really nickel and dime you for everything especially when moving out here at Burkeshire Commons. Avoid AIMCO properties at all cost if you can. This is the first apartment in my 15 years of living where I was charged a cleaning fee ($100), also ($230) for painting the walls and ($170) for water and sewage. You're better off not doing any cleaning and just take the $100 hit, save some time. I highly recommend you read the 1 start reviews before considering moving here. I had three neighbors move out at the same time as I was moving out, yea, no one wants to stay here. Rent here goes up on average $100 to $150 per month each year. Last year, they tried to increase my rent from $2400 to $3200, so that prompted for me to move, really bizarre, it was not until that I told them that I was moving that they changed their tune and offered to keep the same rent. The so called 'hardwood' floors are actually laminate and not real hardwood and not even so have to put something underneath the furniture to prevent from not rocking due to the unevenness. The 'stainless steel' oven and refrigerator aren't really stainless steel appliances, just the doors are stainless steel. Normal unreserved parking in the parking lot is $25 while reserved parking is $50, both outdoor and uncovered. There are many trees here so impossible to keep your car clean from the debris from the trees or from the birds up in those trees. Water and sewage are about $70 per month, doesn't matter how much or how little you use. New manager changes every year. Walls are extremely thin, I often heard my neighbors below me talking so please be careful talking about confidential things unless you whisper.They also keep refinishing the bathtubs because they are too cheap to replace them so the bathtubs continuously keep cracking. Lastly, I hope you like bugs, especially, silverfish, spiders and beetles since there are many here. We had to remove the cobwebs each week from our door during the summer months. Too be honest, I didn't realize how mismanaged this community is. For paying 2500 for a 3 bedroom, I would at least expect dog and bird poop to be cleaned.Thanks for reading, I wish you all the best in your move.
