Poor management and communication, drama, expensive
We have lived here for about a year and a half, and I don't recommend it.
Cons: Price increases, management, condo drama, cleanliness and landscaping
-Price. When I moved in, utilities and internet were included in the price and there was no monthly pet fee. Now, we’re going to start paying for internet, water, and pets. I’m going to pay $200 a month more if I release without factoring in rent increases.
-Management. The office does not care about renters. Communication about projects and... issues is poor, and the former office manager recently left with only “temporary assistance” to replace him and no one in the office. We just had our parking lots restriped and were told we’d have to move our vehicles or they’d be towed at our expense. Management didn’t have details and gave me attitude when I asked for more info. The painters came 5 hours earlier than we were told and painted around our cars.
-Condo drama. This is the worst part of living here. The complex is shared by condo owners and apartment renters, and the condo HOA is awful to renters (not the owners—the HOA). When I moved in, I was told we could rent the clubhouse, but that option was retracted right away. Priority to use it goes to the condo HOA, which regularly reserves it and restricts renters. Even the apartment book club has been forced to reschedule or relocate its pre-scheduled meetings because the HOA booked the clubhouse during our time (we always met on the same day and they knew this), and we couldn’t be there. We can use the pool and gym but I am worried we'll lose this access because the HOA has changed the card reader before.
-Cleanliness and landscaping. The grounds are rough. There is a gross pond that is always overgrown and scummy, and the area is filled with ticks. I treat my dog for ticks, and he still gets them just walking around our apartment. There is also goose poop everywhere, the sprinklers come on at random times and smell bad, and the landscaping is terrible. Their schedule is inconsistent and the company that cuts our grass recently slashed all of my grow bags with their equipment because I didn't know when to move them. They leave grass clippings all over.
Pros: Maintenance (sort of) and units
Maintenance. One of the things this community has going for it is its maintenance staff. They’ve had a lot of turnover but all of the people hired are decent and quick.
Units. The apartments are nice and spacious. We have a garage and the unit is in good shape.
