Huntington and Concord apts. to be torn down

[Kotik]

I just read it in the Morning Sun. Yesterday United got approval from the city to demolish the buldings (one of the oldest apts. in Mt.P) and build new, modern complexes.

Sorry Mike, you'll have to find a new place.

[Tim]

in the sun eh? when is this happening? thats a rather big deal

[Kotik]

Dunno, it will be up to United. They just got the green light from the city.

I would like to think it is May of '05. That is as long as I am signed for.

[mikesova]

dude, that is weak.

[Stevo]

Sorry Mikey. There is a cardboard box behind K-mart you could move into!

How long did you guys plan on living at huntungton anyway? I know you want to stay, but theres other fine places out there (that arent United) I've lived in 4 different places in six years.

i think his building is staying

[mikesova]

that sounds better gary, my place is decent, its the other buildings that suck. they look like pirate ships in the hallways.

[Brittney]

LOL Yes they do.

[Brigette]

Mike, what exactly do pirate ships look like?

[mikesova]

why they look like the hallways in united apts of course ;)

do you guys know if this is also going to affect west campus? if not, what is you opinion of them? im transferring out there this fall and am prolly going to sign a lease at wc next weekend. let me know if this might be a mistake.

[Kelly]

In my opinion....anything owned by United Apts would be a mistake.

[SmashJ909]

i've seen other posts about them on here. are they really that shady?

[Kelly]

It is just easier to avoid them! They almost never give back security deposits. I lived in Jamestown the year it opened. I had all sorts of problems. All my walls had huge cracks in them because the building was sinking, the grass got mowed like once every 3 weeks, they sucked at snow removal (had to push my car out more than once), and I did not get my security deposit back (no reason was ever given). I could really go on and on with reasons to not rent from United. So to answer your question...Yes they are really that shady.

[SmashJ909]

Thanks Kelly for the input. I'll keep that in mind forsure.
