You do truly get what you pay for…
the Landlords manage under a «Company name», they are very unorganized and it is rumored that they co-​mingle their funds (e.g. security deposits deposited into the same account with rental payments– It should be separated)
These are very much the «self help»; type of apartments where the near-​to-​death-​looking maintenance guy will make only necessary repairs while disregarding the cosmetic blemishes. At the current moment the laundry room is down 1 washer and 1 dryer out of 4 each and when I’m desperate enough to use the blighted laundry room instead of a laundromat… I sometimes am blessed with a sighting of one of the ferocious, muscular, alley cats living within the walls.
The «grassy lawn» in the courtyard is actually thick weeds lawnmower-​ed to an even level 1 – 2 times per month. And while I’m pleased that I haven’t been inconvenienced by cockroaches (thank god!), I have seen my share of man-​eating spiders, house centipedes and the unusual, inexplicable, springtime, indoor plague of lightning bugs… yes lightning bugs.
If you don’t mind cleaning/​painting/​making your own or waiting for slow repairs for a place that’s affordable vs. space, almost within sight of the Addison Red line Stop, then this is an (((ok…))) place to live.
