Is there an option for no star? I was a resident for two years. Between the break-ins and the S.W.A.T team being called for a few hours for a shootout with another resident I never felt safe here. The stand off took several hours and no one could leave or get in the complex. Who do they let live here? In the middle of the night people would knock on my front door (multiple nights) after the break in so I'm assuming they just wanted to gauge if I was home or not and maybe try to break in again. There was extremely poor insulation, our air conditioning bill in the summer was upwards of 150.00 for a 900 sq. ft apartment. Mold started growing on the edges of our windows, which were closed, and moisture would just come in. If it rained I had puddles of water in the windowsill that I constantly had to dry. Not to mention if my neighbor beside my unit sneezed I could hear it. I was woken up almost every weekend at 6AM to my other neighbors having sex or their kids waking up early screaming. Move out: the worst experience. I never received any pre-move out inspection to have the opportunity to fix what I was going to be charged for. Someone in the leasing office said, "oh you don't need to worry about patching holes in the wall it's usually not a big deal for our crew to fix them." So I got charged 250.00 for a paint job for a 900 sq. ft. apartment. Insane! We were given a 40.00 charge to resurface the bathroom counter and bathtub, which is normal wear and tear of the unit. However they can suck money out of you they will. The staircase: When you walk through the front door there was an immediate staircase that was carpeted to go upstairs. (The only carpet in the apartment.) When I moved in it smelled old, and musty. My apartment always had this old musty smell to it. I asked maintenance to come out and clean the carpet for me, within a couple weeks the smell was back. When I moved out they charged me $300 for stair carpet replacement. Against the law due to the fact a landlord can only charge you the price of the crappy carpet they are replacing. They just threw a number out out there and expect renters to cover the cost of their improvements. Then I was charged 100.00 for keys not being returned. I sent the keys via FedEx and someone at the leasing office signed for them. Live somewhere else that makes you feel safe and doesn't rip you off at move out.
