Franklin and Tucker Apartments

stacked washer and dryer. The PROS: - You get one parking space - Washer/Dryer in Unit - Rent is cheaper than most 2 bed 1 bath - No pet fees, but pets are allowed. Not sure if the is a fee in newer leases, but that's what was allowed for me in 2020. - Neighbors seem friendly, don't know anyone on a personal level though. - Kitchen has LOTS of cabinets and storage. - Big bathroom, nice deep tub for baths. - Very walkable and is in a great location. - Landlord is very responsive over the phone. - Maintenance is friendly! They have helped with small repairs or when our fridge died. - The apartment overall looks very nice inside and out! The landscaping is taken care of. The CONS: - Parking spots are compact so you'll have to get used to parking in a tight spot. You are given one spot, so if your household has multiple cars, it's gonna be tough parking. - This apartment gets HOT in the summer. I live on the 2nd floor and the floorplan makes for bad airflow. You have to get creative with a portable AC and fans to stay safe during the summer. - Landlord sometimes takes a while to reply over email or text. He usually always answers if I call in case of emergency though. - Upstairs neighbors can be noisy because the floor creaks when they walk around. - There is a train nearby! Super loud with the window open! - The vinyl they used for the floor is cheap and I noticed it can peel up easy. - Garbage room door is locked and accessed via a keypad, but breaks sometimes. - Maintenance takes a while to get around to your requests. - Rent INCREASES every year. I know that's inflation, but why is rent increasing if the quality of the apartment is the same.. Overall, I really like this apartment and I like the landlord. Despite the flaws, it's not too bad to deal with. I think the location and cheap rent is worth it to me. I could see myself living here for a couple more years.

now when it is on, you can not have the kitchen lights on!!
