Mountain View

1) The apartments are overpriced for their location. 2) One entire building and half of another building were completely broken down and unoccupied forever. They were home to many critters. 3) Eventually when they started construction, they dragged it for months leaving residents exposed to construction noise and dirt. Construction was ongoing at the time we left. 4) The stairs are made of rusted metal and could crumble under someone’s weight. In winter, the metal collects ice and becomes extremely slippery. If an accident happens, medical services are limited in this small town. 5) If you get a downstairs apartment, you’ll be exposed to insects, including Mormon crickets. You might find dog poop right outside your door since the common areas are left unclean. 6) Often, the garbage cans have open or missing lids and gather smell and flies. That’s an issue if you get an apartment close to one of them. 7) There is a sewage collecting area to the west of the apartment complex. Although it’s far away, occasionally, you get the smell from there. 8) The apartments are small, and even though the contracts prohibit large dogs, they allow big dogs so they can fill more apartments. Naturally, the dogs get depressed in those small apartments and bark day and night. 9) The refrigerator and oven in most apartments are old/recycled, so they might add to your electric bill. 10) My experience has been that they don’t respect their own contracts. They didn’t return my pet deposit saying that it was a non-refundable pet fee. The owner agreed that it was written as a pet deposit on the lease, NOT a non-refundable fee, yet kept my money. Besides the apartment, you might want to consider if Tonopah is the right town to move to. 1) Some people get health issues because of Tonopah’s elevation and weather. Unfortunately, you wouldn’t find out until after staying here for a few weeks. 2) Everything from groceries to even gas is overpriced here. Even getting a car service done is a hassle. The closest McDonalds is 100 miles away. 3) If you’re a young person, there is hardly anything to do. 4) If you’re a senior, access to healthcare is a huge issue. Even one ambulance ride to Reno or Las Vegas would bankrupt you. 5) If you’ve pets, I think a veterinarian spends one day every 2 weeks here and overcharges for services. 6) If you’re a lady who lives alone, this apartment is on the edge of the town, next to the highway, and in the middle of nowhere.

I got in touch with someone right away, they were helpful and understanding which is rare this day and age. The apartment is stunning and the process was simple! No stress or issues.

I have tried for weeks to get ahold of the "manager" through two different phone numbers that are provided. Left at least ten messages on voice mail and at least that many in messages from the website. I have now been swamped with unwanted solicitations from everywhere except the apartment complex themselves. They sure make it difficult to rent an apartment from them.
