Highland Cliffs

At first glance, the apartment is gorgeous, with new flooring, interior paint, light fixtures, etc. However, after a few days of usage, you can tell that everything has been installed in a rather shoddy way.

For instance:
• Stove door cannot be opened unless refrigerator door is also opened or moved.
• Bathroom light fixture touches shower rod, so you cannot open shower curtain more than halfway.
• Closet and front door strike plates do not even closely line up with handles.

If the poor... design of the apartment was not enough, you will soon discover that one end of the apartment complex houses two men with about 10 cats. (They release the cats from their apartment several times a day, while they also feed the local stray cats. Fleas have been a problem in the last few weeks, although pest control is offered at an additional cost.) The two men can also regularly be found drinking and yelling on their front porch as they attempt to play a guitar, so look forward to the bacchanalian concerts.

One apartment resident has a dog that stays caged and barks nearly constantly throughout the day. It will loudly rattle its cage and bark for hours on end, much to my chagrin, as I frequently work from home.

Power in the apartments frequently flickers on and off. If you see rain clouds, you will likely lose power soon.

In conclusion, the leasing document/contract is really more of a suggestions in this poorly-designed apartment building. Your neighbors will get away with breaking every individual rule, from nuisance dogs to putting barbecue grills in front of your apartment doors.

Also, good luck hearing back from management when you try to file a complaint. Read More
