Pros: This place is all I could ask for in an apartment complex. Work orders are completed in less than 24 hours. They have a doorman/front desk assistance, they give away gift cards/wine baskets/etc. to the residents, we have a (covered) car garage, computers/printer for our own (free) use, free coffee, heated indoor AND outdoor pool, custodians keep everything in the complex clean, and the people at the desk/front office remember all of the residents' names! This place is great!
Cons: The residents pay a lot of money to live in a "safe" place, although the owners keep the car garage door open during the winter, and the door from the garage to where the apartments are located also doesn't work, sometimes... so anyone off the street can come knock on my door or vandalize my car. (They mentioned the car garage door is left open because it freezes open/closed... the residents understand that, but it's not our problem. We pay a lot of money to live here, and expect you will fix the door, even if you have to pay for it. Again, we all pay A LOT of money to live here, so feel free to shell out some of your own to fix safety features.) Recently, it appears as though more lower-income families have been moving into the complex, which I only know from overhearing conversations by those individuals in the open areas. I have also witnessed these same people speak in a very "confrontational" way towards the wonderful people who sit at the front desk. If I continue to observe this behavior, I might question renewing my lease, as I paid the extra $ to live in a SAFE place, without residents expressing this type of behavior...
