Review Date: 2/23/2006 Reviewer: Designbyjacqueline@Sbcglobal.Net
I've lived in a Barac Apt for 2 years now. Know what you are getting into, but you can't beat the rent. Our windows are poorly insulated and you can constantly hear people on the street. When it rains, it leaks and sometimes caves in. We don't have cold water in our kitchen sink and pay our fair share in gas since the apartment is so poorly insulated it even effects the water heater. When we moved in we had mice and solved the problem by getting a cat. I don't think anyone from Barac has been by the apartment in months, the stairway is never swept. When I call Barac they are nothing but rude. I've only seen one repair man, ever, and while he is very nice and more or less gets the job done he doesn't speak English and it usually takes 10-15 minutes or his nephew translating to let him know what the problem is. What you can't beat is the rent. An average apartment in my neighborhood the size of my kitchen would run me about $1100, we pay half of that and the rent is split in 3 with my roommates. You don't get good service, there is always something wrong with the apartment (insulation is so bad, if its very cold out the heat makes no difference) and the people are rude... but you can't find an apartment this cheap in all of Northwest. |
