This was by far... the worst apartment I've ever lived in. When I signed my first lease, I was understanding that the place was small... and not updated. With that understanding, I expected that having things updated during my lease term wasn't a big deal. My refrigerator, my oven range, and my dishwasher were all seriously outdated and according to my father (a licensed electrician) that the way they were all wired was a serious fire hazard. It was like pulling teeth to have everything replaced, so over three years they were, but it was HELL trying to get them to do anything. I'm still trying to figure out why my rent when from $595 a month to $675 before I had anything fixed in it. (by the way they're renting my apartment for $750 now.) When I originally signed with them, they were under different management, and during that first half a year, I had no issues. The new landlord, David Watters is a completely different story. He's rude and does not know how to deal with people well. He definitely does discriminate against certain dogs. (pits, shepherd and husky) So take that pet friendly mark with a grain of salt. David also seems to think that going into your apartment when you aren't home is something of a norm. I personally do not like the idea of having someone in my personal space when I'm not there. My dog probably would not have liked that prospect either. Every time there was a need to get into my apartment, David would try to pressure me to let him enter my house without me home, after I explicitly told him I wasn't comfortable with that, and would continue to pressure me about it. It made me seriously uncomfortable. After my ex moved out, I needed the locks and deadbolt changed, David decided that he would just use an old lock and deadbolt from a vacant apartment, (which jammed three days later.) I was responsible for paying for the locksmith to drill the deadbolt off my door, and was told by my landlord "you're lucky we aren't charging you $30 for a new lock" like it was my fault... and after I had just given them the $30 for the one that jammed. Snow removal was another hellish experience.... Obviously we're in CT and snow is already a pain.... but I've lived several places where its done in a timely manor.... ITS NOT HERE. The landlord is unreachable during a snowstorm and the guys he's hired for removal are no where to be found... It was pretty ridiculous. The only upside is that the grounds are beautiful and its real close to everything in town, but seriously... that's it and had I known that before I signed my first lease, I would have looked elsewhere. I've lived in some slummy places before, and I would have happily lived in those places again, over this joke... Hoped this helped

Great location and pastoral setting with trees and a lake
