Grove City Summit

The good: The pool area is beautiful, garden is a nice feature, club house and work out room are nice, apartment itself is pretty good, as well as the garage, nice landscaping, quick maintenance
The bad: I live upstairs and my neighbors below me smoke like freight trains. My bathroom cabinet and coat closet reek of smoke. Sometimes I can smell it throughout the apartment if they are chain smoking. The energy bill is ridiculous. In the winter I have my thermostat on 53 – 68 & in the summer 72 – 78 and our bill is around $ 170−190/month (water and electric) with low use of appliances and such. I can hear my neighbors, though has never been an issue, but the description of these apartments are stated as «sound-​proof», the pool itself is a bit dirty at times, I would think they would have a vacuum running at night or something, the peel and stick wood in the kitchen area is not very durable, no lights in the bedrooms so make sure you have enough lamps to be able to see in your apartment.

The apartment itself seems well built. Some apartments have garages and some do not. There is permit parking and plenty of parking for guest. Application process was quick and efficient. Office staff are friendly and professional. Neighbors are for most part quiet. Occasionally I can hear them but not to the point it is unreasonable. For those who need to know all aspects before deciding on a place here are the downsides: The first one is the major downside which will totally wreck havoc for those on a budget.
Major Issue — NEP Energy/​Water Bill completely outrages — You will be paying a car note for utilities here. The company they use, NEP, has hundreds of complaints against them (I recently have written one as well) Schottenstein still has them as the major service here. I hope this changes. NEP gouges their customers as you can see reading other reviews of this company and here at the Summit is no different.
I am extremely sensitive when it comes to energy use. I have been an apartment dweller my entire adult life and I have never had a bill so high. I am paying what my sister pays for a large house. It is ridiculous and the company is terrible to work with, I had to ask for my bill because they did not send.
Other areas:
Snow Removal —slow or non-​existent some days
Trash compactor — I have gone a few times and I had to take trash back home because overflowing. Trash room not kept up well either. They probably need another compactor.
Overall the most disappointing thing about living here is the utilities. Good luck!
