The apartments appeared a little run down. They have the air of a place that used to be very nice but have gone down hill. They did have almost everything we were looking for. It had all the must haves except #4 was iffy. The 2 bedroom has 1, 3, 5, 7-10, 12-16, 18, 20-22, 24, & 25. The three bedrooms has 2, 3, 5, 7-10, 12-16, 18, 20-22, 24, & 25. I was happy they had so many of our wants but they were missing a must have. They were nice but off as I said. They people there seemed off as well. They have a very phony vibe. I just had the feeling that she was lying to me the whole way through.

There were big signs saying rent special everywhere so I asked what the rent normally was. The lady told me that's what the rent is. I said will it stay the same after the lease is up. She said I don't know. I asked her what she meant. I mean honestly they do not know what your rent will be? She said we go on fair market value. The whole thing seemed fishy to me. I came home and did a little research. Apparently they have a habit of luring people in with these low rental prices for the first year and then jumping the rent $200 to $300 a month when the lease is up! Most of what I found said that the 3 bedrooms jumped to $1150-$1200! That's ridiculous! After that it became clear that my instincts were spot on. These people are trying to rip people off. That was why they felt so sketchy.

This place has been marked off the list!
