Canal 2 Apartments

My girlfriend and I have lived at Canal 2 Apartments for about a year and a half now. There really isn’t much to complain about the actual apartment. It’s beautiful! We have third floor cathedral ceilings and a beautiful view of the pond/​expressway. The office staff is extremely helpful (especially since Nancy is gone). The maintenance is also friendly and efficient.
The complaints we do have are:
–HUGE spiders cover the doors and our balcony because it being surrounded by man-​made ponds and wooded area. We can’t go on our balcony when it gets darker because of this (we have sprayed for bugs, no change).
–You HAVE to get Dish Network/​Bloom Broadband. Doesn’t sound that bad, right? Well you have to get Dish through Canal 2 management company at a much higher price than what Dish offers. And the internet sucks! I’m a hardcore gamer and the speed is subpar.
–The rent is pricey and for no reason, really. There is no prime location. It’s 20 minutes from campus.
–Parking

We’ve lived at Canal 2 for 6 months. We have a 6 month lease and are moving to a condo (need more space) but I wanted to take this opportunity to say just one thing– Canal 2 staff rocks. They are always available to serve residents.
Also, the apartment complex is a nice peaceful place to live.
