though I guess this isn't gonna list good things anywhere, so pretty much it's a list of cons. stuff I didn't like about the apartments I've lived in:
the intern (2 bedroom, 1 bath):
they never really fixed the carpet after the flood
lots of bugs outside
rodent living in my bedroom wall near the end of my stay, management did nothing to resolve (told me it was my neighbor making noise when, in fact, I lived at the end of the building and had no neighbor)
ashton pointe (2 bedroom, 2 bath):
the parking sucked
we had a neighbor who made the parking suck even more
refrigerator freezer would leak water into the fridge
when they replaced the refrigerator they gave us one that was about 6 inches short & significantly thinner; huge gap btwn shelves & fridge
my toilet kept clogging for no good reason
budd's toilet needed the chain in the tank replaced, they never did
electricity would go out if it rained at all
las colinas (2 bedroom, 1.5 bath):
no pantry in the kitchen
microwave in such a place that there is almost no counter space
washer/dryer connections are just in the kitchen; no laundry closet
dishwasher is absurdly small
kitchen appliances are extremely outdated
heating/cooling system is extremely unreliable, tempatures vary greatly upstairs and downstairs
leaky roof (not anymore, but still)
parking still kind of sucks
very limited storage space in kitchen
very limited storage space in half bath
very limited storage space in full bath
closets are very small
full bath is extremely small
window in my room doesn't open
low ceilings
only one cable outlet (!!!!!)
bad tape & float job
worn carpet
sharp turn in staircase makes moving things upstairs/downstairs difficult
weather strip on front & back doors need to be replaced
budd's bedroom door doesn't close properly
locks on back door need to be replaced (key can be removed from any position while in the deadbolt)
our fence is falling apart
maintenance failed to alert me when there was a fire 10 feet from my front door (when the tar truck caught on fire)
our air condition needs maintenance about once a month
unattractive/barely functioning fixtures in bathtub
faucet in half bath tempature controls are reversed
kitchen light only turns on when it wants to
kitchen light sometimes only half lights up (only one tube instead of both)
so yes, that's a lot of stuff. and I may add more later.
