I'm going to be completely honest... on a scale 1-10 I give it a 4.. In 2011 is when I moved to Allendale. At 1st I love my apartment, as the months went on I noticed how cheap everything was. Here's just my review on everything, I cant wait to move out. ****Bugs- I keep my apartment very clean, I would never leave food out. Almost everyday in the Spring to Fall I would notice a spider. Everyday there was at least 1 or more. I find Crickets too, not just the normal one's but spider crickets. I would find bee's, they would come in through the bathroom fan or vents. ****Mice- This past winter I caught 3 in my kitchen. There was a hole somewhere maintenance came and never patched it up. Not once did the apartment complex cut me some slack on my rent for all the trouble with their pest control and mice. ****Maintenance -the staff is nice but I don't like that they can come in my apartment when ever they like. I usually give them a time frame when I'm home but there were a couple of times when I lost heat or A/C on the weekend and someone would just bust in when I would be nude!! Not even a knock. ****Household Things When I put on my A/C on, the floor in the kitchen was not properly installed so it was like walking on a balloon. The blinds are very cheap, I pull the rope to lift them up and they would crack easily. Had to buy new one's. Now I received a letter that they are switching to tarp and removing the grass. The walls have no fiberglass insulation. it would be crazy cold and the heat bill would be off the roof. there are so many cracks that let the air come through. I called maintenance to fix and they would make it worse. Appliances are old and out dated. I hope my review was helpful. Ur paying more for the location, other than that save yourself the headache.
