We lived here for 11 months until April 2012, but at the time it was called "Windsor Club at Wescott Plantation". It still has the same management and parent company, even though the name has changed.
The community looks really nice at first, but there are some issues. For one, the right side front gates regularly break down and simply will not work. I can't tell you how many times we were either stuck outside, or stuck inside the complex and had to use the alternate exit/entry gate. The trash compactor broke three times during our stay, and it took them two weeks to repair each time. This meant a massive pile of garbage collected over-top and along the side of its enclosure. While the pool looks nice at first, its more often REALLY dirty.
Your internet and cable options are EXTREMELY limited. You are stuck with DirecTV which is awful, because they use a small central dish at the main office for all the apartments. It was a common grumble between neighbors that you would loose signal pretty often - even on perfect cloudless days. On the internet front, you are limited to a base tier AT&T DSL - 1.5Mbps at best - and don't let them lie to you and tell you anything different. I can't fathom how you build a modern apartment complex and don't pull in the necessary connections...
On TWO separate occasions, they're maintenance crew came in to our apartment without any notice at all. One of those times was when my wife was home alone, and it gave her quite a scare. They of course apologized and said these people were in fact subcontractors...also that the notice must have blown away or been taken off our buildings doors by kids. Riiight, those damn kids these days.
Parking is HORRIBLE. I mean by no exaggeration at all, you will have trouble finding a spot after 5PM on most days unless you pay for a garage w/ driveway spot. Management will insist that they have the "legally allowable number of parking spaces"...
On the upside, the apartments themselves are pretty nice - the faux wood floors that are optional look great, and the kitchens are small, but nice enough. Depending on which side of the complex your on, you may or may not have noise from the elementary school which is literally 100 feet away. In either case, you WILL deal with its traffic in the morning and afternoons.
One of the best and worst qualities of this place is the pet policy. Its good if you have larger dogs or more then 1 or 2 (they allow up to 3 and virtually any weight). The bad part is residents wont pick up after there pets, even though they have clean-up stations placed throughout the grassy areas. They also have a fully fenced in dog run area, which is really nice.
