SUMMARY: affordable and comfortable place to live BUT management is deceitful.
EDIT: I originally gave this place 4 stars, but management's actions during move-out changed my opinion.
After moving out, the manager (Cindy?) withheld $180 from our deposit for not shampooing our carpet even though 1) we did not have pets 2) there weren't any spills to shampoo 3) the contract did not specify that we had to shampoo our carpets. Before moving out, ask the manager to inspect your unit with you and clean any issues *as needed* by yourself.
PROs:
The nearby bus-stop is the first AND last stop for route 34 as of Apr. 2017. This comes in handy for mornings when you wake up late
Maintenance is prompt
Complex is clean and quiet
Reliable and fast internet (20 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up average)
Mix of student and non-student residents
CONs: Primarily in management
Kitchen: cabinet drawers bend down if you pull them out too much, and the stove's air vent leads nowhere. The refrigerator is next to a wall, so you can't open it all the way to access the bottom-right crisper drawer (@mgmt: switch stove and fridge position?)
All rooms: Most of the windows don't have insect screens, and the ones that do are rather flimsy or torn.
