Quiet living and cat friendly community
When I have difficulty with paying the rent, I have asked these folks for resources to get help with paying the rent, they were able to send me the resources and I applied to get rental assistance, and it did help. They do try to make it work as long as you communicate with them. They told me that I must have a certain balance paid off by certain date in order to avoid going to court. I felt that was reasonable.
As for the roaches and mice, it is best that you keep your apartment cleaned up and... put all food away in containers or in the fridge, that would help minimize the roaches and mice. I have seen one mouse, but my cat took care of it. I have two cats. I get it that people don’t really like to deal with rodents, but this happens in most places especially when we have people who don’t keep their home cleaned up.
I have a good relationship with the maintenance and the rental office, I try to be reasonable and respectful towards them, as they do have to oversee all the apartments. I’m grateful that I have a place to live. In other places around here, it is so hard to move elsewhere with all the rental properties being so high in rent, but I have been fortunate to be able to stay and live here for almost 3 years. I might be here another year or two but it is all up in the air. My job is 15 minutes drive away, and it is convenient for me. I love the fact that the Wegmans is 7 minutes away along with other shops and restaurants and the KOP mall is within 10 minute driving distance. There is a really nice restaurant and shop strip in the next apartment complex which is in walking distance. There is also a really nice walking and bike trail.
The people here have been friendly, I rarely ever hear too many problems. However, when they do have a problematic tenant, the rental office generally will deal with them. They do try to keep this place a safe place for those who have young children.
I much rather live here than to live in Philadelphia where there are many more violence happening. There has been multiple thefts of mailing packages, so I have relocated my packages to be sent elsewhere so as to not have to deal with the thefts. Relocating the packages is not too difficult. I’m fortunate that my parents live in West Chester, and that there is a Amazon pick up location at LA Fitness in the same shopping center as the Wegmans.
I’m not saying this is a perfect place to live but I choose to continue living here because it is more affordable than most places
