Third time editing this review. I will say upfront, I don't know if management was more responsive this time around because of my review or just because they got their business together, but either way I am grateful that they took our issues seriously. All of my previous complaints were dealt with within a week. I will say most changed is my opinion of their maintenance department. This was my first experience dealing with them directly (my husband has been more involved than I) and I've just got to say I found them to be knowledgeable and very polite. The work order was put in two days ago for a fairly complex problem and they were here as soon as they could be. I am very satisfied with their help. Maggie in the office has been very helpful straightening everything out (not to mention very patient with me), she really is awesome.
The pros of the apartment: Affordable for the area. Well located. VERY quiet community. Polite and intelligent maintenance staff. Responsive office staff so long as you are very straight forward. (I tend to be a bit passive aggressive, don't be like me.)
The cons: Still expensive for the square footage. One dumpster that is better situated for the buildings in the back of the complex. Bizarre rules about what you can/can't have on your porch (they want a uniform appearance on the outside so no hanging anything or flower boxes on your railings). Awful parking for our building but it seems the farther into the complex you get the better the parking options are.
