Curtner Studios’s

A bunch of lowlifes with chips on their shoulders live here. I caregive for a lady who lives here so I feel I have all the rights to write an honest review. I was in the elevator when a little girl about one year old runs up to the elevator with no parent around, then a man with a huge tattoo on his neck walks up and I’m standing there dumb founded. It appears that was his daughter and he was letting her run a few feet ahead of him. I asked him Are you coming in the elevator? His reply to me was «Obviously». I stepped out of that elevator and I took the next one. So you get a whole bunch of that kind of stuff happening here.
I would only suggest you live here if you have a busy schedule, are gone during most of the day because the rooms are very small and they get really hot. BUT there is some upsides there is a parking garage under the complex that is gated and you need a key fob to get into. There is security at night. Rent is super cheap if your on a budget $ 557 you have your own shower and bathroom, that’s about how much a room costs! Not everyone here is horrible, move in at your own risk.
Pros:
Parking Garage (Car must be in your name)
Security at night
Computer room
Must have a key fob to get into the building and to use the elevator
Cons:
Shady residents
No parking for guests (Street, Jack in the box across the street recently posted up signs «Customers Only» and cars have been getting warning letters to move there car before there forced to tow it away)
A guest policy where security wants to see your I. d and know who your visiting
