Hathaway Court hasn t been the worst place I ve li...

Hathaway Court hasn t been the worst place I ve lived, but surely isn t the best. My unit is right outside the pool area. It s less than 15 feet from my back door to the pool. The management has done nothing all summer to keep the pools hours that were changed for some reason from last year. I guess 9 isn t late enough to swim, so they moved it back to 10. I am completely fine with kids swimming till 10. Hearing the splish splash is nice. If that s all I heard..... Kids WITHOUT supervision will scream and yell, creating sonic booms by hitting the water with pool noodles way past the curfew and even harassed my wife when she asked them to be quiet. Some are respectful others are not so much. We first tried by asking the kids to be respectful. Then we talked to parents. Still nothing. So we talked to management about it. The said they would deal with it. Guess how it was handled? The put a paragraph in the monthly news letter asking people to be respectful of people living by the pool. Nothing has changed, my neighbors and myself are doing managements job by keeping the rules THEY set for the pool. If you want feedback, then have some at the pool at 10 to enforce the rules. The kids won t. The parents won t. It s not the tenants job but when it effects my life then I have to.

The are cheap apartments that aren t updated at all, but the only affordable ones in PDX. This provides a perfect place for low income people to be crammed into as many units that will go for $1300 for 2 bed 1 bath 900 sq ft apartments. The price is the going rate but I feel the value is exaggerated because they obviously don t have issues filing the apartments. In 2017 my rent began at $1065 a month. Now they go for $1300. What happened in 2 years adding $135 per month in value to my apartment? Nothing. (Now the can only raise it 7% annually in OR thanks to a special session of the state legislation). What would make the state legislators feel the need to do such a thing? Perhaps landlords playing keeping up with the Jones with other apartment complexes over rent prices.

Next time you are apartment hunting and you see CTL management as a landlord don t take an apartment by the pool, and realize their emailing tenants asking for help salvaging their online image. Seems like it s been a wash of good and bad reviews.

This place works for me at the moment, but definitely leaves me wanting more.

Also person who replies to every comment... you sound like a robot with automated responses. Hard to believe anything that s said means anything when you say the same thing to everyone. Just FYI I got the number, and feel welcome to call. Thanks.
