Old Towne Apts Cranberry Township

Basic townhouse living. I don’t base my two stars on the townhouses themselves, but the experience of life as a whole. The townhouses are okay (³⁄₅ stars). They are very basic, old or bottom of the line appliances, mediocre to poor construction (my cupboards don’t fully close, thin walls, windows old and inefficient, etc).
One thing I hate the most about this complex is that, as a long time resident, they do not respect loyalty. Every year, without exception, the rent is raised. I have spoken with friends who live in other apartment or townhouse complexes where this yearly raise is not obligatory. I hate paying more every single year and it makes me want to move out more with every raise. Also, new rules include no pets (cats or dogs anyway) while others who had them already are grandfathered in. No smoking in your own home is another new rule. I feel more like they look at residents with dollar signs in their eyes without regard to the fact that we live in the complex and are real people who must live their lives.
Some nicer places who charge comparably in the general northern Pittsburgh area offer some kind of extra like a community pool or walking path. Old town offers none of these — just an old playground for small children. Overall, it’s safe enough, but its so basic and lackluster that at some point, the constant rent raises will come to a head and result in more people finding another place to live — including myself.
If you are looking for a temporary home, and don’t wish to make it your home home, this place is okay. If you want convenience of cranberry township over the perks of swimming pools and pets, this might be your place. If you are okay with yearly rent raises and just the basics, this might be your place.
