Anyone else live here? Curious if you have the same issue that we do.

Lol if I ever left the apartment I just might believe ya!

Mold is our biggest issue. We keep an extremely clean home because we both have obsessive compulsive disorder and germ issues. The mold around the windows I understand because of the aluminum window frames, not insulating very well but we are getting it around electrical sockets and in the corners of the rooms. It is getting f**k annoying.

My biggest problem outside my own personal issues with filth is that we have two small children living here and I just dont feel that it is healthy, especially since its cold and there really isnt any ventalation without windows open.

I grew up in apartments and the windows were always pretty moldy for that same reason...I turned out fine:)

I dont mind it that much because I will just clean it, the sh*tty thing is that the lady is worse then me and doesnt believe that cleaning it is good enough and wont rest until its gone for good.

So we are looking for other places to live.

This place wasn't bad. In floor heating, so no forced air dusts/mold to deal with. Don't know if there is still a place open.

Have you brought it to the attention of the property management?

Also...the last time I was there you were passed out on the couch...

I live in West Wind...the only complaints I have are the dude upstairs that makes some random forking noises and jumps up and down, and I had some crazy bug and spider problems during the warmer weather. Of course I currently live in the wooded area, but I'm moving to a non-wooded area for a bigger apt. Other than that, no complaints. They're OK for the price.

I use to live in West Wind, I personally didn't have any major complaints beyond sharing a laundry room, and it was kind of small. We never had an issue with mold or any filfth really.

If your looking for a nice place to live try Dupont Lakes, they are owned by Edward Rose the same folks that own West Wind. The price may seem a bit steep on paper but it comes with alot. We pay $600. We have central air, washer and dryer in our apartment, as well as a dish washer, and the bill includes or cable. We only pay electric. We also live in the biggest one bedroom they offer, and it is big. My only complaint with them is my current grudge regarding snow removal.

my mortgage is less than that... And my house is now worth $20,000 than I owe on it, less than 5 years after we moved in. Check that, it'll be 5 years exactly in 11 days.

Did/do either of you live in a corner apt? I am wondering if the mold has to do with the fact that we have outside walls.

I used to live in West Wind, in a corner apartment. We had a slight mold problem (I only noticed because of my allergies). We had to keep cleaning it constantly. It was always around the windows. I don't think I ever saw it around outlets though. Unfortunately, management normally wasn't incredibly responsive to any calls for maintenence. This was about 3 years ago. Don't know if it's still the same people or not.

they are so so. but they are pissed that they have to come here every day and clean it.

That's what I'm talking about. They shouldn't be pissed that you're requesting they remove the mold from their substandard apartments. If they were a little better insulated, the mold wouldn't be there. They lease you a crappy product, then get cranky when you ask them to bring it up to livable standards. Grrr. As you can tell, I left them unhappy.
