The estate is kept in good condition though a few minor aspects appear to be neglected. The area is ideal and the majority of facilities are satisfactory for senior housing. Unfortunately, the problem with noisy dogs is not addressed. People have to reduce the sound of their TVs in spite of the loud air conditioners and hard-of-hearing condition, however, dogs are permitted to bark incessantly at the entrance of the owners' apartment regardless of how it affects other tenants. Even if you live across the hall, it's impossible to hear your TV due to the barking. My rating would be much higher if dogs weren't allowed to bark non-stop anywhere and any time. I'm told that since it is pet-friendly, there is nothing that can be done about the incessant barking. I realize that in most pet-friendly areas, tenants are expected to control their dog's barking reasonably. The past two weeks have been peaceful as the dog has been quiet and I'm thoroughly enjoying my apartment and location. Although nothing is ever perfect in a complex, I'll sleep in the second bedroom as soon as my daughter brings a bed for it, as it is much quieter in there since I cannot hear the air conditioner. I'm sure the newer complexes have quieter units. Even though there is no perfect place, this location is near ideal and most people are considerate and friendly. I'm more ... hide ...

As of this writing 61917 I have lived here since November 2015 and I love it today as much as the first day I moved in The apartments and the property overall are well maintained on a daily basis Any maintenance issues with individual apartments are As of this writing 61917 I have lived here since November 2015 and I love it today as much as the first day I moved in The apartments and the property overall are well maintained on a daily basis Any maintenance issues with individual apartments are addressed and resolved immediately The entire staff is friendly hospitable caring and competent That being said at 10 years old the units and the property overall are starting to show their age in various places so I will be interested in seeing how things are updated as time goes onnnThe neighbors are friendly and the place is deadquiet and peaceful especially at night The inside acoustics are great thanks to fireproof walls You can hear footfall traffic in lower units but very little lateral noise Also even though we are near a highway we never hear the highway traffic The only noise at night is an occasional train but most residents including me will tell you it never wakes them up or keeps them up at nightnnThere are lots of community activities and a bus with an awesome bus driver that takes us all over town to myriad shopping outlets including restaurants and occasional special entertainment outings as wellnnThe apartments are well insulated This is the lowest utility bill Ive ever had in an apartment of this size I live in Building 2 where we share laundry facilities 1 per wing of 7 units Ive never ever had a conflict with having to wait to do laundry 2 washers 2 dryers and the laundry room is well maintainednnI love the hotellike layout with wings and lobbies I also like that we have other amenities on each floor such as a gym library computer center and community room with a kitchen plus public bathrooms on the third and first floors The building is secure and safe and so is our mail including packages which is always delivered inside the secure areannIts a very good deal for the price The main reasons I gave it four stars inside of five arenn1 This item updated 83019 My original 617 comment mentioned smoke smells coming from some apartments Much to my delight we now have a nosmoking policy tobacco and vaping anywhere inside the building So that has eliminated the lingering smoke issues inside the building However now that all the smokers are going outside to smoke the outdoor seating areas 3 in each building are now all completely consumed with the smell of tobacco either from the live smoking or the nicotine residue so its less enjoyable for us nonsmokers to sit outside I would really love it if they assigned a designated area for the smokers to have their fix while the rest of the seating remained clean and smokefree Maybe somedaynn2 The other reason for docking a star is there are some engineering and design anomalies in the layout of the apartments that I find annoying and wasteful particularly with regard to the door placements and how they have to function killing space on one side of the wall or the other If it were up to me Id fire whoever came up with this layout they clearly are clueless about how people actually live and flow inside their apartments and thus should not be in the business of designing living spaces LOL And dont even get me started on the placement of the electrical panel that we are required to leave exposed at all times Okay Done ventingnnBut despite those two complaints which are indeed annoyances but not dealbreakers I LOVE living here and I highly recommend it for any seniors looking for affordable safe housing which still allows a modicum of independence even if you dont drive Not to mention the option for socializing Emphasis on option with this layout you can just as easily be a social butterfly or a hermit Best of all worlds in my opinion more ... hide ...
