Browsing for a studio, what are the worst as far as building maintenance/crime which should be avoided?

There are websites dedicated to rating and reviewing these complexes with an abundance of information at your finger tip. This is not an efficient way of arriving at that information.

Fairmont Gardens on Little River Turnpike. It used to have a police substation inside it. It's also KFC/Taco Bell adjacent.

Lived in Fairmont Gardens 1972-1986.
Was a nice white typical suburban neighborhood in the 70's.
No crime. Halloween was great as a kid.
Place really went downhill mid-80's.
Lots of Central America immigrants moving in.
They would sit on the steps drinking beer all day.
They almost burned down my building once from a kitchen fire.
Leaving something on stove and forgetting about it (cause they were drunk)
Roaches everywhere too.
So happy to get out of there.

Apartment complexes just suck here. Overcrowded, overpriced, noisy neigbors, parking garages, weird food smells, thumping bass and quasi-gang activity.

You are better off renting a condo or renting part of a house or basement in a neighborhood. Or do the Craigslist roommate thing.

Yup. I recently moved to Mount Vernon Apartments. Broke the lease in a half a year. The two bedroom was 1250, which come to find out was kind of pricy, although it was decently spacious.

Anyway, I have to start by saying that I have lived in quite a lot of different types of places, settings and lived with such an earthly variety of souls from all over the world, and 99% of the time, I've learned, when neighbors treat one another like neighbors, then you got yourself a good community.

Mount Vernon Apartments "ASK US ABOUT OUR SPECIALS!"
What a deal. All that space, on facility laundry, a "basketball court", an Aldi right in front of it... Seems safe, right?

I guess they may have left out a thing or two. Per day. For one, the people who lived around me were all nice, and I never failed to get along with a single person. Mind you I was one of the only five or six white people there.

The overwhelming police presence should have been the first giveaway. Crime is very high there. The management has deals with the police to help find fugitives. Everyone knows Bonnie Hungerford. They are good people, that is, unless you need something fixed. They never once ever came by to fix the dishwasher. It was on the list at the beginning. There were roaches, because the other tenants who wouldn't ever clean their shit up. I used to pick up their bags and pull out the receipt, where it showed the last four digits of their EBT card. They used their foodstamps to buy Starbucks. Then left it in the hallway.

On-site staircase dwelling CRACKHEADS! Yes, that's right. Go all the way downstairs, and you never know WHAT you might find! Feel safe, ladies. Those empty bags, burnmarks, piss puddles, broken stems and chore boy are all there because that is where his office is. He fends off other crackheads.

Many people live there are super fucking loud and don't give a shit.

The Maintenance crew managed to fuck us several times, through mysterious leaks, to "being forced" to break a toilet so they can charge us for a new one. People constantly just get drunk and high and walk all over the fuckin place leaving their shit everywhere. I can't stand motherfuckers who refuse to improve their lifestyle or self worth and as a result make everyone else them feel embarassed to share a cultural similarity with said slob, if not that than just plain don't like leaving in the morning and the first thing that approaches you is GIN BREATH at 8 am, which you can smell and hear from across the god damn parking lot, because people can't seem to learn to talk to each other without acting like a bunch of fucking ignorant apes hollerin at cars going by and shit. Motherfucker, send a text. Walk ten feet. Stop yelling from across the way.

@ Wingnut: Oddly enough, I like Seven Woods much better. A bit cozier, less noisy, plus ive known too many people from that back block too long. A lot of fun in those woods.
