Apartment Review for Boardwalk Apts. - Gainesville, FL

when i first moved in to this apartment in august of 2004, there was a 10' by 12' hole in the ceiling over my bathroom shower. I could see the pipes for the bathroom in the apartment above me. i had someone come out to fix our leaking toilet and they didnt come after a week and 2 calls made by me. i have had numerous problems with that toilet over and over again and they refuse to replace it. right now my apartment is horrible. i dont even have dry wall for all of my walls. About a third of the walls in the apartment are painted ply wood. the noise is ridiculous due to poor insulation and thin walls. ive had to call the cops because of ppl setting off illegal fireworks at 3 in the morning. there is no security service. carpet, appliances, counters, cabinets and floors all need to be replaced. it's very old. there are roaches even after pest control comes. the new mangagement is really great. they are friendly and helpful and are making many improvements. the new maintenance is much better. I will not live here again because even if they do make improvements on the apartments themselves...they would have to tear the old ones down and build totally new ones for it to be nice. The prices have gone up. I wouldn't pay the new price for what you get.
