I don't really blame the management so much as the ownership. Both management companies were actually pretty friendly (most of the time), but they seemed to be perpetually understaffed and underfunded. The type of "corporate lease" which (illegally) requires a 60-day move-out notice on a 9-month lease is fine by me, as long as they deliver the luxuries they promise. When I moved in and decided to commit to $1450 a month for a 1-bedroom in a fairly remote location in Boulder, I expected the hot tub to be working within a couple of weeks, because, well, the leasing office told me the hot tub would be working within a couple weeks. 18 months later, the hot tub was still not working. Of course they have a million excuses, as if they couldn't have built a hot tub from scratch during that time, given enough funding. If any one of the endless chain of Canterwood leasing companies were ever caught telling the residents the truth: that the maintenance and amenities might not be up to par because the owner demands that they do everything as cheaply as possible, well, then the conveniently-anonymous owner would just fire them and hire another faceless corporation to do his or her bidding. There were a couple things I liked - the gas fireplace was nice and cozy in the winter, and they didn't charge me an excessive amount when I moved out. Still one star instead of two, however, because my girlfriend and I both got severe ear infections from swimming in the filthy pool. Of course, we should have known better than to swim in the pool... what were we thinking? This is Canterwood! They can't afford to hire enough staff to keep the pool clean.
