U Hills Problems
FIRST OF ALL...Its extremely overpriced because we each have to pay the $550 in rent instead of it being a combined payment. They say its because were paying for our own bedrooms. The first bedroom doesnt even have a light and the electrical outlets only work if the switch is turned on. The second bedroom has a door in it that leads to the hallway (which is weird) and its impossible to access because the fullsize bed furniture blocks it no matter which way you arrange it. The bedroom is about half size of the other bedroom and has no window or air circulation.
The bathroom is small with poor ventilation and it had smuck on the wall that looks like it came from smokers being here before us. Spiders always come down from the bathroom vent. The cold water in the bathroom barely comes out and the hot water pours intensely.
The popcorn ceilings and walls are ugly.
There were stains on the walls, ceilings and holes in the floor and cabinets. The furniture that we each $40/m for (on top of the $550) was ripped. The floor is very weak. When you walk you feel like youre about to fall through. Also, you can hear everything the people above you are doing. The front door code never works, sometimes you have to unlock the door 7 times just to get in and lock it twice when leaving.
There is no dishwasher in the kitchen.
The blinds continuously break.
The balcony and rail is shaky.
(If you touch anything, itll break)
The cable is bad and loses signal.
The WiFi is bad and loses signal.
There has been heavy construction on every road surrounding these apartments since moving in which effects the water by causing it to shut off, makes it hard to walk to campus and drive anywhere.
The staff lost a couple of my packages and they wont let your roommate pick up packages for you. The staff doesnt answer emails in a timely manner. Theyre dishonest about some of the events theyre doing (lied directly to us about 3 times.) The staff and maintenance can and WILL come into your apartment whenever they want. A maintenance guy was fired for stealing from an apartment.
Security didnt answer the phone both times we called during an incident. There are drug addicts here who have had some crazy episodes and used drugs publicly. At one point a girl had to run from her abusive boyfriend. There are always police and security here but the staff never tells us whats going on. There are no security cameras. A guy snuck into the building and convinced residents that he was apart of the electric company and tried to get residents to switch to another program.
We had a mouse come in and so did our neighbors upstairs but staff was very unbothered by this and handled the situation on their own time while we had to live with a rodent for a little while.
If youre moving here to escape dorms, DONT. The environment is the same as far as loud parties, neighbors who scream, neighbors who leave trash in the hallway, neighbors who try to open my BEDROOM DOOR FROM THE HALLWAY, neighbors who dont know how to park, and their obnoxious dogs.
The building smells awful. The dumpster is in an inconvenient location.
Laundry room in the basement is terrible. It cost $1.25 for wash and $1 for the dryer but you have to dry it 3 times in small loads on high heat for it to actually get dry. Also its nasty because people dont cleanup after themselves and leave hair and crumbs in the machines.
On the plus side, we were provided internet, cable, grills, sewage, trash and water. The pantry is pretty big and the kitchen is decent. Its close to campus if youre a student. The fireplace outside is nice. Maintenance responded to work orders quickly and were very cool except for the mouse incident.
Overall, we didnt really like it here though.
Good luck if you still decide to live here.
