We
lived
at
Palm
Trace
from
June
2020-June
2022.
Overall,
it
wasn't
a
bad
place,
but
there
were
definitely
issues
that
others
might
face.
-The
maintenance
guys
were
super
friendly,
yes,
but
also
reluctant
to
deal
with
certain
issues,
like
a
rusted
water
heater
that
looks
like
it's
on
the
verge
of
collapse,
or
a
dryer
that
needs
3
hours
to
dry
a
load
of
laundry.
-Our
electric
bill
was
always
insanely
high.
We
were
on
the
third
floor,
and
for
the
first
few
months,
our
bill
averaged
around
$400
a
month.
This
was
after
living
in
a
different
complex
for
five
years
where
the
electric
bill
was
never
over
$150.
We
finally
got
them
to
install
a
new
AC
unit,
which
helped,
but
our
bill
still
stayed
close
to
$300
a
month
in
the
hotter
months,
even
with
the
thermostat
set
on
76.
The
apartment
stayed
around
78
for
May-August.
-One
of
the
biggest
issues
is
the
smoking.
They
claim
it's
a
no-smoking
property,
and
the
lease
says
that
if
you
smoke
in
your
unit,
you
can
be
evicted,
but
our
neighbors
smoked
like
a
chimney
in
their
apartment,
and
the
smoke
always
came
through
our
air
vents
and
into
our
kitchen.
When
we
told
the
office,
we
were
greeted
with
"There's
nothing
we
can
do,
unfortunately."
Now
that
we've
moved
out,
and
there's
no
lingering
cigarette
smoke
in
our
new
place,
our
allergies
are
back
to
normal.
-The
biggest
reason
we
left,
though,
was
the
rent
increase.
Yes,
everyone
is
raising
rents
in
2022,
but
they
raised
our
rent
by
$900,
which
is
ridiculous.
I
will
say
that
I
really
liked
having
the
package
lockers
for
our
deliveries.
That
was
very
nice,
even
if
the
package
room
sometimes
turns
into
a
hot
mess
because
people
don't
pick
stuff
up.
When
you
first
move
there,
it
seems
very
nice,
but
all
the
little
things
add
up
and
eventually
get
annoying.
It
was
mostly
quiet,
with
the
exception
of
the
neighbor
downstairs
revving
his
engine
in
his
garage
at
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning,
or
the
new
neighbors
who
drove
through
at
2
am
with
their
bass
booming.
There
are
a
lot
of
college
students
in
this
complex,
which
isn't
necessarily
an
issue,
but
some
of
them
seem
to
think
it's
party
central.
