Foxchase is a decent affordable apartment complex. That's the main driver, cheap. Recently though they are significantly increasing the cost of rent, trying to overhaul some amenities to provide a broader range of "nicer" amenities. Including a small dog park. The other residents are some of the nicest people I have met, most people who live here are young families starting off in life, or people temporarily moving into the neighborhood for a short time. All in all it's a great place to live, if you don't mind the persistent noise, bugs, the occasional crime and never seeing your security deposit again. Let's start with the noise, these are much older buildings, that were either poorly constructed or were constructed with the idea of them being large mansions. You will hear your neighbors day and night, from walking through the hallways, slamming door to just having casual conversations in their living room your neighbors live with you here. Insulation of the apartments, none of my windows really sealed, the weather stripping on my front door was basically non-existent so there was a breeze moving through my apartment year-round. Nice for getting fresh air but terrible for efficiency with the thermostat. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. My neighbor downstairs would burn incense and it would rise through the floorboards into my apartment and drive me crazy. Then when they moved out, the next tenant smoked weed chronically so it was great to have that seeping into my apartment as well. Albeit an alleged "no smoking community." Bugs, because of the aforementioned issues, and the focus on rebuilding for amenities that aren't needed. You will see / have mice, lady bugs, salamanders, ants, spiders and other various creepy crawlers as roommates not ideal but they charge you about $10 a month to deal with the bug issue, as part of their hidden fees. Hidden fees, everything, "energy efficient appliances" about $8 a month, communal water and waste water management, you get charge per square foot / occupant in your apartment. So if your 4 neighbors have 3 kids, you get to subsidize their water usage. It's really a great and fair system. Crime, during the time I lived there I never personally had an issue with crime, except for my neighbor the first 6 months being a drug dealer. Seeing the comings and goings of strangers into my building all hours of the night and day: because the exterior door didn't lock and management didn't care to fix it. Great work on that dog park. To seeing 5 different cars have their tires stolen in the parking lot. There was no communication from management about security awareness or to look out for suspicious behavior at any time. Now your security deposit. Consider is already forfeit, even if you leave the place immaculate, and especially if you pay for their in house cleaning service. When I moved in, I noted that there were scratch marks on EVERY wall, especially in the staircase from the previous tenants. I wish I had kept track of that document. As such when I moved out, I paid for the "we will clean your apartment service, including the small amount of painting that would need to be done up to the size of a quarter." They charge $75 for this service, so I thought I was getting a deal. Nope -- they turned around and wanted to charge me about $400 to paint my whole apartment, the second floor, I didn't even hang up a single poster. So they settle on just the first floor at $273 Most of the walls were well-maintained, and honestly it seemed like I barely lived there. So, it's a cheap place to live, with staff that kinda cares, honestly the maintenance people, and cleaning staff were more friendly and heart warming than anyone else that worked there. Oh and be cautious of the sub-contractors they drive around going 30-45 mph in a the parking lots, with little to no regard to anyone who lives there.
