Granite Trails Apartments

think it was worth, its very easy to tell there was poor paint touch up jobs done all over. Areas of my kitchen cabinets had wood protruding where it was obvious lazy measurements were taken or just guessed. The new vinyl flooring got dirty easily and was bubbling in spots. The carpet was new but unbelievably cheap, it wore down severely in any heavily travelled area and fell apart near the transition strips. In the halls and common areas there were always burnt out light bulbs that never got replaced. The walls around the stairwells were already getting very dirty. The doors to the units were thin and cheap, some had large gaps between the frame and the door allowing you to practically see inside a unit. They also did nothing to block any sound out. Management was inconsistent in their enforcement of lease policies. They claimed to be 'smoke free' but people smoked cigarettes all over just outside the building. The smell of marijuana was a frequent occurrence inside the building. I would occasionally come across people just blatantly smoking marijuana in the parking lot in plain view. Nothing really seemed to be done about this, ever. I also noticed abandoned vehicles in the lot with flat tires, leaking fluid lines, and years expired tabs, these would sit here for months almost. They also did not seem to have an issue with people doing loud work any time of the day on their cars in the lot. Overall this was an average place, hence the 3 star review. I did not have any issues here that made me seriously question living there, it got the job done. It was a learning experience for my first place, hence once again why my biggest piece of advice is to look at other places if you want to spend this amount on rent. You could find a somewhat better place. They market themselves as being upper level for mid range apartments but thats not what they are. They are an average apartment building that charges slightly higher prices because they have granite counter tops.
