Carpenter Village Apartments

firehouse so you can hear sirens frequently. CONS *The walls are very thin and you can pretty much hear everything *NO CENTRAL A/C, which made me fry during the summer even with a standing A/C unit. (Which I was sold that they were going to put central A/C in, during my first summer, obviously never happened) **Additionally I was also told by former management that I wasn't allowed to have a window hanging A/C unit, even though other people had it *Old appliances *The main door of the apartment don't have locks, so anybody can get to your front door. *NO OVERHEAD LIGHTS *People are generally nice but I have had some problems with one of my neighbors due to the thin walls. **Which former management was no help for both parties at the time *They change management like underwear (Management currently there is good) *Can't ever get a hold of the property manager when the rental manager isn't there. *There was a fee, which I was never told about, that I had to pay on my deposit so I didn't get my full deposit back. *When I first moved maintenance wasn't good, it took them two months to finally fix an outlet that I found broken from day one, however they have gotten better in the past year. Overall, I wouldn't recommend if you can afford something else outside the city.

pharmacy and gas station across the road. Each building has a small laundry room, there’s a laundromat next door for when I want to do larger loads. All in all I’m very happy here.

apartment didn't come with all of these appliances. I had to supply a microwave, toaster, and air conditioner. You also have to bring your own fire extinguisher. Some good things: -Cheapest laundry around. $1.50/per load, but you share 2 washers and dryers with your entire building -Easy to pay rent online -In a good location -Nice green space, lots of trees. -The property manager is good about getting back to you in a timely manner. Some not-so-good things: -There are no overhead lights in the bedroom or living room. -I gave the property manager a list of things that were wrong with the apartment that I wanted fixed before I moved in (rusted door hinges, broken/bent screens, etc). Nothing fixed -The screens became a big deal. They were bent, torn, and didn’t fit right. I constantly have bugs in my apartment. I asked for the two living room screens and the kitchen screen to be fixed, and the 1st time, they only replaced one side of the living room screen with an equally bent screen. The 2nd time, they only replaced the other side of the living room screen with a torn screen. I got them to replace both screens in the living room, but they’re still so bent that I always have stinkbugs crawling inside the screens. Never replaced the kitchen screen -They installed a pane of glass in front of the other side of my living room window when I got my air conditioner installed. With the A/C on one side of the window and the other side blocked off, I had no air in my living room. Took three phone calls and a visit from the property manager for them to take it out. -The bathroom is not great. Badly painted, no shelves in medicine cabinet, dead bugs in the bathroom window, no ventilation except for a tiny window above the shower, and the toilet often runs. -They charge $2/hole if you put nails in the wall -They told me that my rent would go up $10/month if I renewed Overall, I don’t think this place is worth the rent price. Hope this helps someone.

oncall maintenance when it happens since it is NOT an emergency. I have asked to be released from the lease - still a few months - and they denied the request unless I pay the remaining months. I think they owe me a partial refund based on the quality of life I have had to endure here. A Pathetic situation not handled with any degree of professionalism. Think twice before renting here.
