Enterprise Square Apts

Finding a rental in Altus is a challenge. There are very few apartments in this town and generally only a handful of houses. Finding a FURNISHED rental that allows pets in Altus seems akin to finding a unicorn at the end of a rainbow with Bigfoot holding a pot of gold. With so few options available here, and with all of our furniture in storage in another state, my husband and I knew we’d have to take whatever we could find in Altus. We were happy to find this place given our circumstances at the time, but six months later we are beyond thrilled to be moving out.
As with any apartment community, Enterprise Square has its good and bad. I guess I can’t speak for the condition of all the individual apartments, since ours is the only one I saw, but our particular second-​floor one-​bedroom apartment at Enterprise Square is very worn and run-​down. Kind of dumpy. Put simply, these apartments are older and not well-​built to begin with. In an effort to be fair, however, I will list the pros and cons as I see them.
PROS:
The location is convenient for us and I’ve never felt unsafe in the area.
Onsite 24-​hour laundry facilities are helpful since our apartment doesn’t have washer/​dryer hookups and this town seems to only have one laundromat.
The furniture in our apartment is nicer and newer than I had expected, including a brand-​new mattress on the bed.
The rooms in our one-​bedroom apartment are all a good size. The walk-​in closet in the bedroom gave us ample storage space. The kitchen is on the small side, but has a lot of cabinet space.
The rent, even for a furnished apartment, is pretty cheap.
CONS:
I am not exaggerating when I say these walls (and floors) are paper thin. We can hear all our neighbors, on all sides of (and below) us, when they are watching TV, or taking a shower, or having a conversation, or making dinner, or farting in bed. None of these things are done loudly, but the walls are SO thin that we can hear everything, not just the loud stuff. Our apartment is near the front of the complex and overlooks the parking lot, so we can also hear all the traffic from the road and cars coming and going in the lot. It is never, ever quiet here. Ever.
At wit’s end, we made the mistake of complaining to the apartment manager about a neighbor’s constantly barking chihuahua (after first approaching the neighbor, who did nothing about it), only to find out the neighbor was the apartment manager’s best friend. This earned us a lecture in being neighborly from the apartment manager, constant stinkeye and rude notes posted on our door from the neighbor, and no change in the barking dog situation. Lesson learned.
The apartment manager is a gossip. For an older woman, she has the maturity of a teenager. Don’t tell her anything that you don’t want all her friends (and your neighbors) to know. I’m pretty sure she violated some privacy laws when she told our neighbors some of our personal information.
Things in the apartment are surface clean, but poorly maintained. The carpeting is disgusting, dirty and matted and should have been replaced long before we moved in. The walls look freshly painted, but the kitchen and bathroom cabinets are filthy inside and sticky outside. The whole place needs a good, deep cleaning. I spent a lot of time cleaning when we first moved in and our apartment is definitely cleaner moving out that it was moving in.
My advice? Find a place anywhere else, if you can. If you can’t, buy yourself some earplugs and a calendar so you can count the days until you can move somewhere else.

Decent place to stay. Sufficient space per room, VERY close to Altus AFB, and accommodating management. Not living the high life by any means but it was a comfortable place to stay while training.
