My family and I lived in Houston Levee Apt's. When we first moved in the apt's were nice as far as apt living goes. We lived there for almost 2 yrs, and really noticed a deterioration in the property. They have security gates, but were broken most of the time from people forcing them open. Plus they have a generic code to get in and many of the residents would freely give this code out so the gates were not really that secure. Plus when we moved out the new management at the time really gave us a hard time about our deposit. There had been a couple of stains/marks on the flooring in the kitchen (one in the kitchen and one in the laundry area which were present when we moved in) and they wanted to charge us $800 to replace all the flooring. Plus they wanted to charge us more (I think something like $600) to re-paint the whole apt. I had bought some paint from the previous management and painted the whole apt before I moved out, so it didn't need painting.
That said, it has been a couple of years since we lived there and there may be new management by now. But our experience wih the apt complex as a whole was not a good one.
Good luck,

I decide to try to live in an apartment at least for my first year (as soon as I know the area, I will look for the house). I come here with my wife and a friend, so I need at least 2BR.
Currently, I have two apartment complex in mind, one is
Stonebridge Crossing, Stonebridge Crossing in Cordova, TN
and
Houston Levee,
Houston Levee in Cordova, TN
Both are in Cordova and seem to be pretty close to I-40 that I would use to commute to downtown where I will work. I try to avoid Germantown Rd as Pearlbob suggested. Downtown and Mud Island should be nice, but I hope to find a house with a big yard, so I might try to get used to long commute
I plan to drive to Memphis and look around the area soon, but anyone know if area is good/safe? Someone has said in another thread that Stonebridge should be ok, but nobody mentions Houston Levee.
