I don t suggest living here. Recently we were hit with an electricity of about $500 so once it was split by 4 of us we are expected to pay ~130 each. We called the electric company and they told us that our bill was supposedly $800 dollars over one of the winter months although we only paid 240 because the reserve puts a cap for the winter months. The insulation is absolutely terrible. We only heat the apartment to about 64 degrees, turn off all lights and try to use minimal electricity. Honestly wouldn t be surprised if the electric company that runs the place is faking the meter count. I heard from somebody that the electric company that the reserve was suggested to have somebody come look at the electrical but they can t because they don t have a manager right now. If you choose to live here be very expected to get hit with ridiculous charges. My roommates car got towed one day and we picked it up less than 4 hours later and he had to pay over $100. The place is also not in great condition. When we moved in our carpet was disgusting the railing for our stairs constantly falls out from the handle, the dishwasher has a giant dent in it and makes a very loud annoying noise the entire time it is running. The people that work there are at least very nice and the maintenance crew do come help when you put in a work order but as was said in many other reviews the management is bad and the prices are ridiculous.
