      Don't Judge an Apartment by its floors

      after first moving in everything seemed great. It took a couple weeks for problems to start popping up. The units look new on the inside but that just hides how old they are. A poorly handled bed bug infestation migrated from unit to unit. If you are a fan of reducing energy cost this is not the place for you. Single pane windows prevent the AC unit from cooling the apartment causing expensive power bills every month. Smells drift from unit to unit, i.e. If your neighbor uses the bathroom you will know it. I personally can not wait to move.
