White Mountain

Had a lot of issues with this complex. When I moved in, the sidewalks were covered with broken glass and many of the lower floor windows were broken and boarded up. The glass was cleaned up, but the lower units still have broken windows.

When I applied and paid the application fee, the listed price was lower than the actual price. Expect the actual monthly price to be about $100 more than is listed. They don't include monthly fees like common area prices, real estate taxes, and online payment… fees in the listed price.

I was told I would be living in a bottom floor unit. When I went to get my key, they backtracked and told me that I actually was given a different unit on the third floor. I had already paid the move-in fee, which I was told was non-refundable, so I had no choice but to accept.

A lot of the sidewalks, stairwells, and pathways are cracked and missing sections. Some of the buildings have wooden boards over large holes in the ground. Be very careful when moving around the complex.

The interiors of the apartments are ok, but a lot of the floors are cracked, and because the foundation is shifting, some of the doors have very large gaps in the frame. Also a lot of the windows have rusted sliders, which makes them rattle constantly when its windy.

In terms of loudness: Usually pretty quiet during the day but often you'll be listening to car alarms for a few hours at night.

I don't have any issues with my neighbors. They're all very kind. Just honest folk trying to make a living.

The internet here is really fast (250mb/s) but you need to make it clear to the internet company what services you want. They have a lot of predatory add-ons and contracts.

The laundry facility is located in an unmarked room somewhere in your building. It is very expensive, $4 for a single load. You also have to use a prepaid laundry card, which you aren't informed about unless you ask the head office. To get the card, you need to go to an unmarked building a few streets down and interact with an unmanned laundry machine.

I had maintenance enter into my apartment without knocking or prior notice a few times as well. Usually their reasoning is they mistook my unit for someone else's. Once they entered while I was taking a shower, which was pretty horrifying. It doesn't help that the nearby area is already pretty sketchy. If you want privacy, might want to look at a different location. Read More
