TGM Shadeland Station Apartments

My wife and I have been here for over a year and a half, and overall this is the best apartment complex I’ve ever lived at for a number of reasons. But no complex is perfect.
THE GOOD
First off, this area is very low key and safe. There’s a lot nearby and we’re close to 69 and 465.
The apartments are continually being renovated, and we were lucky enough to get one, which has very nice carpeting and an updated kitchen (new countertops, cabinets and appliances).
The office staff is very friendly and accommodating. Each time I stop by to pick up a package, drop off rent or voice a concern, I’m always greeted with a smile.
The maintenance crew is the best! They’re quick to reply to issues, almost always the same day unless you call in the late afternoon. There were a few issues on move in day, and they addressed all of them immediately. During the winter, the maintenance crew is very good about clearing drives and sidewalks.
When our friends came for a visit, they commented on how quiet our place was. We never paid much attention to it, but the walls and floors are very forgiving of sound, and we’ve only had one issue with a noisy neighbor (they had a sub-​woofer, which would cause trouble no matter how thick are walls are).
THE BAD
Storage is a bit of an issue for us. You do get a small storage space on your patio, which is great, but because the closets are average size, we don’t have much room for everything else. You get a washer and dryer, which is a must for us, but they’re located in one of the master bedroom’s closets, which further eats away at available space.
The kitchen is great, but there’s no pantry, so you either need to buy one or be conservative with your cabinet space.
The windows and sliding doors are older, meaning not very energy efficient. Our last apartment was a great deal bigger, but our energy bill was often much less a month.
The living room is rather small, and if you get a unit with a fireplace you really miss out on space. In terms of furniture, we could only fit a couch in ours, and had to get rid of our recliner because there simply wasn’t a place for it.
Smoking is allowed in some buildings, at least it is in ours. We have a neighbor that smokes heavily, and our guest bathroom will smell like smoke because of it. We’ve brought this to management’s attention, and the maintenance crew attempted to alleviate the issue a few times, but smoke is tricky.
EDIT: I had a major complaint with the amount parking spaces available at night in my original review. However, this hasn’t been an issue for quite awhile.
