Ardmore Terrace Apartments

"My apartment was on the second floor. Though the management staff was attentive, the living conditions of these apartments are fair at best! First off, when I moved in, the stove was NASTY! I had to scrape off the gunk with a putty knife. YUK! These are old buildings so the windows frames are rotten and cracked, especially in the bathroom and some of the windows were cracked in the living room. Paint peels off of the walls and ceiling in large, hand-size patches. Note that it takes approximately five minutes for the water to get hot in the kitchen sink so I had to boil a pot of water to wash my dishes, every time! The heat is radiated so it gets uncomfortably hot in the winter, even with all the windows wide open! There is no central air so you are lucky if a working window A/C unit is provided to you. I had to Jimmy-rig my A/C unit to stay in the window and it only cools down one room and freezes up then leaks water all over the floor! HORNETS! OMG! Note that hornets were not only able to get into my apartment, but they built nests inside the window panes! I killed at least two, three hornets a day! What a nightmare! Let's top off this great review with the fact that the owners of this complex paid for nice upgrades to the exterior, they did bare minimum to maintain the interior. The only reason I can assume as to why they cleaned up the exterior is because the Shorewood Police Department moved into the building across the street, though that didn't deter the pot smoking tenants from having their good times. You get what you pay for in these apartment buildings. cheap rent = cheap landlords. I would not recommend these living conditions to my worst enemy! RENTER BEWARE! *** Note that the reviewer named "Doug S" who gave 5 stars is the apartment manager! Biased review??***"
