Noisy place

There are many source of noise in this apartment complex. Because of the age of the buildings and the poorly built units, noise from adjacent units and outside travel very easily in to your apartment.

-          Noise from neighbor: If you have noisy neighbors who love to talk, watch TV in their bedroom, then expect long nights when you have to wait for them to sleep first. Complaining to the management does not solve the issue.
-          Noise from outside: There is a low income apartment complex which have a large playground. During summer time expect a lot of kids playing, making a lot of noise all day long till 9 PM.
-          Trash truck: Every Wednesday, the trash truck comes between 6 and 6:15 AM to take the trash. The trash container is 40 to 10 yards away from your apartment depending on where your apartment is. There is one large trash container close by ever building.
-          For 1 bedroom units, which the bedroom is closer to the parking lot, expect cars to run idle  outside your window from 6 AM in the morning in the winter when people have to warm up their car before they drive to work.

Car park

At Lochmoore Shores, for every apartment, there is one covered parking space (assigned/reserved).

There are fewer non-assigned parking that assigned, this means that most of the time there is no space for your second car if you came back from work before 5:15 PM.

The management tells you when you sign the lease that you can part at the complex across the street, which is a city owned low income apartment complex. it is true they have a lot of available space, but if one of the city's employee's sees you parking there, then they would ask you move your car. I know people who got their car towed.
