Plan on re-leasing
I've been here for 9 months and love it! It's actually super peaceful in the area, everyone minds their own business, and respect is naturally given. The leasing agent up front is super nice and always helpful as well. Rent + utilities are crazy cheap and stable, I literally use apple pay on RentCafe for only a $3 service fee. My partner plans on getting an apartment here too since it's such a nice area, which only improves over time (construction).

Broken AC for 2 months now
It's 12:45AM right now and it's 85 degrees in my apartment. This is AFTER they came and "fixed" it a month ago! Last month they put in a temporary window unit that was also not blowing cold air. So we had to stay in a hotel for the weekend because the blower went out and they couldn't get another one until the following Monday. Even after they fixed it, it never gets below 80 in here. Right now it's not blowing cool air. We reported it 2 days ago and no one has even come to look at it. ... They're under new management and they have been replacing roofs, painting, making the OUTSIDE look better, but unless you're OK with no AC, DON'T LIVE HERE!
