Oak Terrace Apartments

I will not say recommend or not recommend. I will just list my experience and let you decide. Pros: Overall nice position and very close to the Orange line station. Price is comparatively cheaper for this area, with the heating included. Staffs are nice in general, except some specific issues stated as follows. Cons: Mostly management issues. First, they always like to enter your apartment for checking or maintenance. This happens at least once per month. Also, the time to enter your apartment can be quite random. Fairly speaking, they would give you a notice before any action. However, the time listed there can be as long as one week or even two weeks. If you are similar to me (having many precious valuables/ figures/ jewelleries) in your apartment, this can be very troublesome. Also, what is the reason of doing the "same checking or maintenance" frequently? Why is it still compulsory if the tenants (or should I regard myself a tenant?) declare that the apartment is fine? Another more serious problem is the fire alarm testing. You may need to suffer a fire alarm test from 930 am to 1100 am, at least a week in the year. This can be painful if you work at home (right, I am a mathematician). You have no way to complain or ask for the reason why the same test is conducted every day. Important message: you need to accept every action they want whenever they give you a notice. Basically, they can do everything they like after sending a notice. You have no choice, no matter you think it is reasonable or not. Sometimes, hot water supply stops during your shower. It takes time for the hot water to recover. Kids may play in the playground quite loudly during the weekend. Overall, I would suggest you to think carefully if you would like to have a quiet, non-disturbing, and private apartment like me and my wife. If you look for something convenient and cheaper, that's OK.
