PARC STATION

You should move here if you like the following:

• Trash filled hallways that smell like a mix of soiled baby diapers and Taco Tuesday.

• Paying a ridiculous rental rate for a shoebox sized apartment.

• Paying additional monthly fees, including mandatory valet trash, a substantial (albeit optional) monthly fee (either $25 or $35 I can’t remember) for parking in an adjacent parking lot—separated from the complex by a large chain-link fence and trees—where peoples cars are broken into regularly… and seemingly no security personnel patrol.

• Paper thin walls. Meaning you're going to hear the music the neighbors are listening to in their bathroom. You're going to hear domestic disputes. You're going to hear the reggaeton blasting in the kitchen across the hall at 9:15 on a Sunday.

• Evacuating the building at least once a month due to fire alarms going off—usually right as you sit down for dinner, or just started a movie—because of someone smoking in their apartment.

• Having your packages stolen from your doorstep because USPS doesn’t like to secure them in the provided Amazon boxes on the property.

• Living next door to actual heroin junkies, and listening to their arguments, screaming fits, pounding on the walls, and monthly visits by the SRPD.

• Management ignoring your complaints about said heroin junkies, and then being left in the dark for 6 months wondering if said junkies will ever be evicted.

• Homeless folks picking the locks on the exterior doors in order to let themselves in to sleep in the stairwells.

• Having your clothes stolen from the wayyyy too expensive washers and dryers in the community laundry room.

• Tenants letting their dogs poop in the hallways, and then leaving it.

Renter beware. It may be one the cheapest options around, but you get what you pay for. Read More
