I am somewhat pleased living here. I attend college just down the street, so the proximity placement is nice. However, some of the fees you must pay are exorbant. The dog waste removal fee is an unforgiving $100. I have also heard horror stories of cars being towed when the residents were at work or school.Overall the facility itself is very nice and tries to do a lot with its community pantry and community room. It is well-kept outside, and there are options to garage your vehicle if you so choose. Workout room exists, but is nothing special.The leasing managers were always friendly towards me, but I did have an issue with another resident. For having a dog off a leash outside of your apartment or dog park, you receive a warning that if it happens again you will be evicted. This makes me uneasy to live here.The neighbors are hit or miss. Some are nice, friendly, and down to earth. Some can work with you to solve issues that may arise. Some are pretentious and will not even look at you. Be careful of them, the administration will tend to take their side. It is about a 50/50 split.Overall I do appreciate this facility but would not recommend it to a friend. The disputes with neighbors is my #1 reason for seeking another complex. The proximity to school is nice, but I believe that there are better, still dog-friendly options out there whose fees are not so high. The burger joint is nice, but also very expensive. Burger king makes up for this though.Pros:Very nice physicallyCommunity Room with many entertainment optionsCommunity PantryHelpful leasing staffAllows pets- small pets like fish dont need the $300 pet feeSmall workout room with treadmills, dbs up to 50, and a leg press/shoulder press machineDog park ( about 70-100 sq ft)Garages (however waitlist is 3-4 months out)Proximity to universities, and grocery storesFloor cleaned weeklyVentilation unit is an in-house blower. No ventilation connection (in my experience) between yours and your neighbors units.Forgiving rent deadline- but dont be after the 5th!Floor does not leave scratch marks upon moving furniture.Movable breakfast bar!Park down the street.Neighbors build snowmen lol.Cons:Disputes with neighbors- but manager did follow up with me and relieved concernsNeighbors are great and friendly, however some can be pretentiousDumpster collection happens at 6 a.m. and makes a huge racket.Hidden fees tend to be very high from my own experience and people I have spoken with.Only select buttons on the microwave work upon move in, also both sink gaskets leak water. Maintenance is working to get fixed, so I commend that.Have not experienced the move-out fees. If I remember I will update this list.Walls dent easily!No curtains upon move in. Blinds do little to filter light.Door paint chips easily.Sketchy operation happened directly north, now there are three abandoned businesses that random cars hang out outside of. Not a direct issue of the place, but of the neighborhood.Summary: I would recommend. I initially had bad thoughts when I felt targeted by another resident for a mistake I made, but the staff resolved it. Objectively this is a great place, and subjectively it is pretty good too. Definitely headed in the right direction.Fees & Citations: $3.95 for rent processing, electricity $30-$50 monthly, gas and water ~$10 or less monthly, dog waste removal fee $100 security deposit w/ rental history 1 months rent, security deposit no rental history 2 months rent. Violations of code of conduct (only from personal experience) without specific fees will result in administrative citation, but not a fee. 2 citations = eviction. Unless you have an aggressive dog, I dont see you getting a citation. And if you do, keep them leashed!
