A great place to live, if you want to clear your own parking space in the winter. But don't leave the complex, there is no assigned parking. The second you leave someone takes your spot. Need a handicap spot? You won't find those cleaned out either. Have a handicap placard? Most of the time, you can't park there, because the spot is taken by someone who doesn't have a placard or appropriate license plate. Call the office to complain, they suggest you call police. Call the police, they don't show up! Complain about the fact that you and your wife are clearing snow. The office will tell you that they will let maintenance know. Which i find confusing as the snow removal is subbed out to a contractor. Trust me you will pay a decent amount of money to live here and that responsibility does fall on your landlord, but they won't do anything about it, except once they did offer to lend my wife a shovel. My wife!
A great place to live if you have a pet. They are pet friendly after all. Kid friendly? Sure. They have a concrete basketball court! It's a great place for your toddler to play. Playground? NO! Grassy areas? Yes. Kid friendly? NO! Watch your step. Feces everywhere.
A great place to live if you want 24 hr maintenance. Just put in your request on a holiday. Wait for it. You will get a return call telling you that it's a holiday and maintenance has the day off. Oh, it gets better. You have a leak under your kitchen sink, can you check the connection and tighten it? We'll come back and check it once we return in 2 days. Don't hold your breath waiting for them.
It's a great place to live if you want to know your neighbors business. Just remember, they will know your business as well. Walls and ceilings are paper thin.
It's a great place to live if you enjoy the office making accusations suggesting your breaking rules. Such as, I once received a notice on my door and an email from the property manager suggesting that we had been smoking in our apt. The letter was a cure and quit notice. However, the email stated, you will be charged for any extra cleaning at the end of your lease. First of all, we don't smoke in our apt, so don't suggest that there would be extra cleaning. By suggesting that i would be charged for extra cleaning is to suggest that we have smoked in the apt. Secondly, the email stated, smoking is allowed on your deck or patio or 10ft from the bldg.
It's a great place to live if you enjoy not once, but twice, the same accusation. Today's notice says, we have had complaints about cigarette smoke in the hallways. Please remember it's our policy that smoking is only allowed 10ft from the bldg. No big deal. Right? You'll find this notice on every door in the bldg. Wrong! Our door was the only one with this notice. Sorry, I don't appreciate being accused of doing wrong when I'm not. Add the fact that policies apparently changed around here and apparently were just supposed to know these things without being notified.
It's a great place to live if you enjoy the smell of dog urine in the hallways. Oh wait, maybe it's cigarette smoke! None the less, if you enjoy neighbors who don't feel like taking their dogs outside at night, expect the urine smell in the hallways. On another note, during the winter often times you will find that the owner let their leashed pet outside. But the owner remains in the bldg. Expect feces on the sidewalk and dark yellow spots everywhere. At least until, I or my wife, your neighbor, gets out and clears the sidewalk for you. BTW, I look around the property and I see zero cigarette butt receptacles. That's right, smoking is only allowed 10ft from the bldg, but they offer no where for you to extinguish or dispose of said cigarette butts.
It's a great place to live if you enjoy cigarette butts laying everywhere. Did I mention dog feces? But it gets better. Do you like trash? There is usually plenty of that lying around too. We have on occasion taken the kids outside to burn off some energy and walked around the complex picking up trash. Majority is near the play ground. LOL
