For the amount of space, this place is a good bargain. Floor plan is unique (I got the 2 bedroom, 1full/2half bath) with spiral stairs and its lofted which I thought was cool. I have plenty of space for me and my puppy. Had a bug problem for the 1st couple of weeks but I've been here for about 5 months and haven't seen any around (I purchased my own stuff to get rid of the bugs). The new housing manager seems nice and took care of any problem I had when i spoke directly to her (when i first moved in, it took nearly 9wks for them to fix the 1st of a series of problems i had with the apartment but they were under old management I'm told). The staff is friendly to me but I have been in the office several instances when I noticed some unprofessional behavior. They've lost my rent a couple of times (I always tried to pay up more than one month's rent at a time and there were several times when I got a notice for non payment of rent but i had my money order receipts to show so everything turned out alright).
The neighborhood is large (to me anyway). Also, apparently, signature place is a hot spot for robberies. (which I was surprised b/c everyone told me i moved to a pretty safe area of Marietta) A neighbor of mine has been robbed 3 times since I've been here and a couple weeks ago I was about to take my dog out and SWAT sent me back in (later found out there was a suspected bank robber in the area...) You ARE allowed to equip your home with ADT (which is what i did).
So will i renew my lease? Depends....The problems I personally have faced have been tolerable and for the price, i will not find a similar place to stay with the similar floor plans ect...But I'm starting to think that maybe this isn't the best long term location for me... Time will tell, there's still time for things to be perfect...or get terribly worse!
