Seeking Advice for apartments... (appointed, apartment complex, maintenance)

[basicdim]

hello,

just discovered this site. my wife and i are planning to relocate to delaware and been searching for apartments. we have narrowed our selection to 2 places. village of barrett's run apartments in christiana and arbor pointe in wilmington.

i'm wondering if anyone has experiences with either apartments or their management companies. arbor pointe is managed by vintage properties and barrett's run is managed by capano.

also are the communities safe? if you read apartmentratings.com, everyone seems to bad mouth every apartment complex. in this forum everyone seems to be a lot more helpful and honest.

thanks in advance for your help!

Stay away from Capano (I guess it depends on which brother owns the complex). Arbor Point is very nice and close to everything. My sis in law and brother in law lived there and he was a maintenance man for 5 years. Nice property.

Hi Noodles,
Oh I remember the name Capano from the Anne Marie Fahey murder. Was a high profile case. I lived in Philly at the time and was so happy when Tom Capano was convicted. Lousy thing, I wish they had hung him by his toes forever.

never made the connection... but i think this must be the other brother. or at least i hope so!
thanks for the info.

I am having problems now and am looking to move. extremely disappointed. not worth the money you pay. I really liked it because it's relatively safe and quiet, but you pay for it in no response to maintenance calls and must suffer for it. not worth the aggravation. mold in at least three apartments that I know of, maybe more.
