    Renter Beware - Fees and Price Gouging Ahead

    I think this apartment complex is beautiful. I certainly enjoyed my 15 months living there. The pros of this place are visible - take a walk around and you can see it for yourself. But here are the things you'll find out once you live there:

    1) They will nickle and dime you on every little thing. Parking fees are a ridiculous $75/mo for the privilege of owning one car to park, not even one vehicle is included for each apartment. This for a parking structure that routinely has broken gates that
    … don't open for their "auto sensor." No guest parking whatsoever, naturally, so forget having friends want to swing by - who wants to pay for parking? They also make you pay for the community's electric and gas bill - I guess their regular community fee isn't enough.

    2) There is dog poop EVERYWHERE. One of the draws for me was the indoor hallways for this luxury complex. My mistake. The hallways take on a disgusting odor and I found out why - people allow their pets to soil the carpet all over the hallways. I had dog poop left literally in front of my front door once. This isn't the dogs fault of course - this is just the quality of neighbor you can expect here. If you enjoy dodging dog poop on your way to your car to go to work, Emerson is the place for you.

    3) Finally, despite the high cost of the apartment through deceptive low rent prices for the area (THEN they tack on exorbitant fees) they also gauge you on the way out the door. Don't expect to see your security deposit of $500 back ever again. I'm one of those people who like to leave things as nice or nicer than when I left. I travel for work, and maybe spent only 3 weeks max per month in my apartment. I lived alone with no pets. And SOMEHOW they managed to find $400+ worth of "damage" - blinds I never touched were apparently "broken." They tell you the stove top is damaged (works perfectly and no damage when I moved out). Clearly their strategy is to get every last dollar on your way out because gosh you are moving so why do they care?

    I hope this review helps you understand that renter beware. This place LOOKS amazing. It has incredible amenities. But you won't enjoy them because you won't have the money to do anything fun if you rent here - you'll be constantly at work trying to pay the extra fees and just when you escape to a place more reasonably priced without dog poop in your hallway, Emerson takes one last opportunity to take away money from you for no reason whatsoever during a historic pandemic.
