The apartment is beautiful and the manager is very sweet. We really love the area. We love the vinyl flooring and the short carpets. The space is big, which is awesome and everything is genuinely brand new. There are just a few things that could significantly improve the experience here if they were changed.
When we first moved in, we had to go get our mail keys from the post office, which is fine. However, no one knew where our mail box was. Not the post office, nor the front desk of the apartment. We kind of went on a hunt to figure out that our mail box is located on the opposite side of the complex. Iâm not unhappy about that, I just didnât like that no one knew where our mailbox was.
Second thing was that the complex has a deal with direct TV that forces each tenant to pay $99 for cable and REALLY BAD WiFi. 3 out of 4 of us need WiFi for our jobs, so the fact that we cannot opt out to get our own, improved internet is very disheartening. Update: this is still a problem to me. No one watches cable, and Direct TV WiFi is just horrible.
Lastly, we signed a lease that specifically states that we can get fined for smoking near the buildings. People smoke near the buildings and balconyâs all the time. I wouldnât mind so much, if they didnât throw their cigarette butts on the ground everywhere or when my daughter and I walk through the breazeways, we didnât smell smoke. People also take their dogs for walks and leave the dog poop all over the grass areas, so my daughter canât freely run around this place. I just wish those problems were better monitored and controlled, seeing that this is a new complex and people are trashing it.
Update: The ventilation system for the apartment is pretty bad. All air (cold/warm) pumps to the front room and bathrooms. During the summer the rooms are boiling hot.
We have recently moved out.
