Better than last places I lived
Moved in 1.5 years ago, to a split 2-BR unit - this best possible floor plan for living with other adults. If you want closets, this is the place. 2 huge walk-in closets, 2 linen closets, and 2 double length closets for coats and storage, and a pantry closet in the kitchen. I didn't think I'd like living so high up, but it's great with this double long balcony. The maintainence guy came in the middle of the night, within less than an hour, both times that I called for emergency repairs.... Sometimes it's hard to get responses from management, but they have been willing to work with me on solving problems. My car was towed by mistake, and the management had it towed back without any charges to, or tow yard visits by, me. The parking lot is horrible for anyone who goes out late. But there is a parking garage under the building - it's worth the $40 a month to be able to park in the garage in an assigned space! There is noise from other units, but not as bad as the other places I have lived. This is the first apartment I've ever lived in, that has had no infestations of anything, not even roaches. I have those sticky boards around the kitchen - there has been a total of one bug stuck on just one of them, the entire time I've lived here. However, some neighbors have complained of roaches, mice, and rats - I can only attribute the absence of them in my unit, to how well the unit is sealed around pipes (I've discovered from other places, that being clean is meaningless when there are things living in between the walls). The only utility not included in rent is water/sewer - that bill is higher than it should be. The elevators situation is bad - too many people. The neighbors have all been friendly here, people say "have a good day" when getting out of the elevator. THE BIG PROBLEM here, is theft of packages. Although the neighbors here are nice, there are obviously some who are thieves. Someone went so far as to steal a new mattress that was delivered to me, within an hour of the UPS stated time of delivery; there was a used dirty mattress sitting in the hall that night. It is imperative that you put in delivery instructions when you place orders. Amazon drivers aren't supposed to leave stuff in the mailroom, but some do it - those packages get torn open and stolen - there need to be cameras in the building. Even with the problems stated, my White Oak Towers apartment is still better than the other complexes where I have lived in this county.
