Huntingdon Apartments

These were the best apartments I’ve ever lived in, and I’ve lived in a quite a few for a 24-​year-​old.
Here’s a tip we learned: talk to some of the residents to get a good feel for a complex. I’m glad I did. We were able to move into a huge, two-​bedroom townhouse for less than the price of a third story, one room apartment in Texas.
The landlady is one of the most uptight, controlling people I’ve ever met, but that’s actually a good thing. She got under my skin a few times, but overall she was on top of everything. (But seriously, do you have to make SUCH a big deal about parking?)
The residents were great as well. No sketchy-​looking people and our apartment was as quiet as it could be. Encountered a couple drunk people while walking one night, but that was about it. Nice part of town.
Maintenance was fairly responsive as well, though we didn’t appreciate them just coming inside on occasion.
Our place itself was, like I said, huge (1,200 square feet or something). I liked the design and it had a good amount of storage space. Large dining room, average-​size kitchen. Only gripe would be the upstairs gets pretty hot (even at night) during the summer.
Moving out was about as good as you could expect, considering I had to move with a few months left on my lease. The manager was able to find someone to take over our lease a month or two after we left (even though she went pretty crazy when she found out I put an ad on Craigslist for it). I don’t agree with a couple of the charges she gave us on the final deposit check, but hey, we actually got some money back. Just wish she would have let me leave the moving truck in MY spot overnight…
You’re gonna have some inconveniences and stuff with apartment living, so on a curved grading scale, they get an A. Definitely *try* to get into these apartments, as they’re the perfect combination of location, affordability and quality.
