The apartments here are beautiful and well constructed. We've had zero issues with our apartment and have been living here for a couple months. While construction on the apartments is done, there is construction being done just south of the complex on some townhomes. You can hear the construction sometimes, but it doesn't bother us at all. We rarely hear the train, and that's only if we have a window open or are outside.There are a lot of bugs around here. They sprayed for mosquitos once (we think) when we first moved in and that helped a bit with the mosquitos, but they did come back. But with the cold weather coming in, the bugs will start to disappear until Springtime.
The staff are still figuring out the landscaping. They come in once a week to take care of the grounds, but they've had a lot of issues with sprinklers flooding the lawn. Most of the time the grass is more swamp than lawn. And that brings in a lot of wasps and mosquitos.
The complex is pet friendly and there are a lot of dogs. The owners are pretty friendly and responsible with them. Recently however I've noticed a lot of people not picking up after their dogs which is very frustrating. They have 2 pet stations, one by the pool and one by the playground which supply dog poop bags. I really hope they put at least one in the southern grassy area by the swingset soon because I think this would help with the problem. There is a "Dog Park" but it is pretty small. If there's one or two dogs, they can play relatively comfortably. But any more than that and it's very cramped. I wish they had extended the dog park to take up the grass area around it since that won't really be used for anything, and there are a lot of dogs here. And especially in the evening the dogs like to come out and play with each other. I'd also recommend to the complex to put a dog poop station there as well since it just makes sense and people are starting to not pickup after their dogs in there either.
The complex has a pool that's about 5 feet at it's deepest. They also have a hot tub and a community grill. They have a small gym in the clubhouse that has a decent variety of cardio machines and free weights. They do have a tiny room off to the side of the gym for kids to sit and play in. They've supplied some toys in the room which is nice, and there's windows so you can see what's going on while you workout. I do wish they'd put a tv in there because that seems more likely to distract kids because there's not really any room for them to play in there.
The kid's playground is made for elementary school aged kids. Not so much for toddlers. There is also a set of 4 adult swings just south of the playground. I wish they had at least one bucket seat for younger children.
We have two cars and with a garage we don't have problems with parking. But if you're planning to live here with each roomate having a car, you will have issues with parking. This complex is meant to accommodate those who will use public transport more often than not. If you have 1 or 2 cars, you shouldn't have a problem. There doesn't appear to be any real parking enforcement yet. They tried once after the fire department came by, but unfortunately it's fallen through the cracks again and especially after business hours people will park where they please.
Overall we're really happy with our new home here and with the complex staff. They've been very kind, understanding, not degrading, and easy to work with.
