Delmont

After living here for a couple of years, I can say for sure that the price does not match what you get. The "updates" are purely cosmetic and there is not enough parking for the people that live here. You will see people parked in traffic/fire lanes or on the grass because they cannot find a space. If you are requesting maintenance that you view as an emergency... well it is only an emergency if they (those at the office) deem it is. There is no office at the Delmont location (there used to be) so in order to actually talk to someone in person you have to drive to another apartment complex. This is clearly an old complex with a luxury price tag... but without any of the amenities that luxury apartments have. With that, the two great things about the apartment is that the area is decent (bike/walk trail that has a dog park) and the people who are actually doing the maintenance/physical work at the complex - they are really nice and helpful!

Pricing goes up at every turn from online to tour to lease signing to first year - 20% increase after first year, placing this complex in the "luxury" price range when it is far from luxury. Not enough parking any day of the week, thin walls, ancient HVAC, tiny closets, electrical issues. Run away.

Pros: Maintenance, location. Cons: HVAC issues, indifferent management, no hot water in the winter, constant construction, contractors living in unfinished apartments causing noise issues, thin walls that allow you to hear neighbors doing anything above a whisper, frequent water outages, possibly underlying mold issues, crawlspaces with rodents, difficult to find parking, occasionally paint smells that are probably not safe, shelves falling out of walls without more than 10lbs on them.

I give 5 stars for this apartment under the condition that you are a budget-limited person who wants to live in a good school district. The apartment is old for sure, but all urgent maintenances are still responded on time. There is a large courtyard in the center of the apartment, which is our favorite feature for this apartment.

I caught over a dozen mice and they were still coming in the apartment. Maintenance put down sticky traps and the mice would move around the apartment with the traps stuck to them. I spent hundreds of my own money trying to get the mice infestation under control. Over half of the apartments are empty. Management won't hire pest control for the mice infestation. It was the worst living experience. I lived there 3 years and they stole my security deposit for normal wear and tear. There is nowhere for the kids to play so they play in the road, tenants hang clothes on the balconies, the dumpsters are always overflowing and the laundry rooms just take your money. If you can't afford better and you want to live in a top school district then this place will have to do.
