Alright first things first, if you're looking for a cheap apartment in a college town you're going to live in filth. It's just how it works so don't expect 5 star treatment anywhere near FSU. With that being said, yes this place is pretty bad or at least was before it was just bought out this past week. When I first moved in the apartment looked like it had never been cleaned in its life. After about 3 weeks of cleaning and paint remover(they used spray paint to paint the entire apartment?) to remove paint off of mirrors, lights, door knobs, cabinets, floors.. Everything, it wasn't half bad. The carpets were fairly stain-free and all the (all the fridge and washer/dryer) appliances worked, but the ac makes terrifying noises. Still does even though I've asked them to fix it. 3/4 of the lights were out so I had to replace those, a few switches and one of the toilets were broke (I paid to fix those, too) and the cable for internet/TV wasn't even connected to an outlet so I paid for that as well. The outside lights go out every few days so I've stopped replacing them and asked to have the ballast fixed but I guess they only care about the outside facing apartments because those all work fine, none of the inside apartment's lights work. Oh and every window leaked. Bad. Swimming pools Michael Phelps couldn't swim across formed in our living until, wait for it, I paid to have that fixed as well. They didn't even give us our mailbox key for a week because they didn't know where it was. Which is owned by USPS, and is considered a felony. Many many more bad things.
Good things: the roof works, so that's nice. There are some holes, but it works. It's fairly decently sized I suppose for the price. Since the new owners moved in they've already fixed more things in a week than the last owners have in the past like 6 months and they told my roommate who is staying in the same apartment that it would be cheaper. I, however, am getting out of here.
Stop expecting a home as cheap as a car payment to be luxurious, because you're not going to find that anywhere near this town.
