Decent apartments, lots of noise though
Overall a nice apartment space with nice lighting. But there are some rather fundamental issues to consider before moving here.
Lived here over 2 years and there is definitely something fundamentally wrong with our fire alarms. I work from home and we had fire alarms going off nearly all day on and off for 2 weeks (and this is not the first time it's happened). Constant testing of the very loud ones with no warning, leaving me no time to adjust my meeting schedule (emails notifying an hr... before testing really doesn't do the trick) of find a safe place to take my dog is somewhat infuriating.
I am also, unfortunately, right next to the T C Roberson baseball fields which have people batting with reckless abandon at all hours (and I do mean all hours), which I know is not the property's issue, but it is hard to handle even with earplugs or headphones on.
There is also a very long wait to get anything– not immediately an issue–fixed, and while some things you can get away with fixing yourself, others you can't.
Parking is definitely hard. The spots are incredibly small so you had better hope no one parks next to you if you have something large you want to get out of the side door. I've definitely injured my shoulder a few times because you can't open the door far enough for it to not immediately start swinging closed again.
