Winton Woods Apartments

apart. These used to be low income apartments - so they're structurally not sound and maintenence wise - were very much neglected. You can see it. Which would be fine, if the rent was still affordable. It's liveable.. but everything inside is old - blinds broken and falling off the walls; closet doors falling off the rails; shower rod fell and it took maintenence so long to replace it we just bought our own; cracks in the ceiling and walls; faulty weather stripping on our door so our heating bill is enormous; locks on doors breaking so we can't get into our apartment sometimes (even maintenence had a hard time using their key to get in and had to wait for me to get home - WE NEED A NEW DOOR!); contractors came and chipped a bunch of paint off our building and left; the landscaping crew blowing debris onto our porch and inside our home (due to the weather stripping); bubbles in the carpets of the 2nd floor above cracking ceiling; the laundry room is expensive and filthy (with people often getting into fights over use of the washers and dryers) and appliances often breaking and flooding the floor; dog poop everywhere on the grounds but doesn't get cleaned up; random beer cans in the parking lot and used needles; abandoned furniture in dumpsters and all over the grounds; sketchy people from the movie theater coming into the complex in the middle of the night and snooping on people's porches to steal; so much noise from neighbors past quiet hours but nothing is ever done about complaints; and there's never a permanent maintenance person so everything just takes forever to get fixed. The pros: The neighbors are mostly friendly and nice (that's more than half the reason we stay here. The rest was the affordability); lots of kids here; management is nice enough; it's a convenient location but those are the only real pros. The cons are not worth the rent they're charging and it just getting so dirty here on top of that...
