Overall Good Quality Place, but With a Few Issues
I think you can do a lot worse for apartment condition and quality of management/maintenance, but I had several problems. I personally had higher than normal rent, but that's because I had a shorter lease period. I was always planning on moving out at the end of my lease, but even if that were not the case, I don't think I'd renew. Also, as a note, be sure that the unit your touring is the one you're renting, or ask if the one you're renting has updated appliances.
There were roaches, and the... exterminator who was called in multiple times did little if anything to help the problem; it was only homemade/store bought solutions which helped. (Note, if renting, ask how long the apartment has been unoccupied, as I think the roaches get in during that time)
There was an intermittent water leak from two floors above which took weeks for maintenance to find and fix.
When I contacted management about tobacco smoke smell in the hallway, they referred me to the front desk, and on a later date when I contacted the front desk, they told me to contact management.
During the transition of the seasons, the building can only be switched from cooling to heating one time, so there are cold days in the fall where the heat still hasn't come on (and I assume there'd be hot days in the spring when the AC hasn't yet come on).
Midway through my lease, the building got upgraded fiber internet, which sounds great, but the monthly internet bill was double what I was paying before, with no option to opt out and continue the old service. It was objectively better service, though, so I can't complain too much.
In fairness to maintenance personnel, the problems were genuinely difficult to fix/diagnose. Which tenants were living like slobs and attracting the roaches? Where is this leak that only happens once every few days coming from? Who of the dozen or so tenants on this floor is smoking in their apartment?
I've definitely had worse management and places in far worse condition, but I hope to have better in my next place.
