Here is the thing. I had lived there for more than 3 years. The main reasons I stayed is that it is inexpensive and close to where I work and play. On that note, you sacrifice any kind of luxury when living there and residing in that neighborhood. The Cobblestone Creek apartments are veery run down, old and not very quality.. but it can be descent if you look at the apartments ahead of time and thoroughly inspect your possible apartment before moving in. It's what you make of it, but you have to be meticulous in checking the apartments out before agreeing to a lease. \n\nA couple of the major issues here is that it's just a low rent complex, and as a result it's not a very well kept place. I have seen everyone from elderly folks, to college students, to strippers, (probably not very good ones,) that live there. The premises are a half-step above a very run-down housing complex that was built for low income.. like 30 years ago. It's livable, but you have to just turn a blind eye to the garbage in the halls, the lack of quality maintenance and just a general constant smell of smoke as it seems everyone is hanging off their balconies smoking something. \n\nMany times over the years, I had both the (mis)management (see what I did there) and maintenance people tell me that they will have to 'get back to me' about any repair I have requested. These are basic requests that range from a light socket in a hallway that didn't work, (and NEVER got fixed for 3 years,) to the front of a drawer falling off the first week I moved into a unit and not ever being replaced during my time in one apartment. I have even had a maintenance guy tell me that he had to come back eventually to fix the drawer because he had about 10 of them sitting in the shop. He never came back, and I just couldn't be bothered to continually ask so I left it alone. \n\nI had considerable mold build up in one apartment that I didnt notice inside some of the lower kitchen cabinets that seemed to have been growing for some time. I bleached it and it came back. I think it was a water issue within the walls, as the tile in the bathroom started to turn a dark color as if mold was under the linoleum. this was the shared wall that the mold was building up on, opposite the kitchen. \n\nOverall, it's just run-down and not perfect, but when you need a cheap place to live and you have other monetary obligations, it can work. As I said.. just be very very meticulous when inspecting the place that you may want to m move into. There is a lot of situations where counters are painted over to cover stains, holes in walls are badly patched up and wiring is just bad due to age of the building. The doorways are not sealed well, so light is often seeping through.. which means air and heat are seeping through.. which will cause higher electric bills. Oh YES! I should mention that everything IS electric and thus your electric bill for your small apartment can be near $100 if you are not careful. It gets hot, VERY HOT in the Summer in Las Vegas and the non-insulated walls, and badly sealed doors let all that air right out. \"Cooling the whole neighborhood!\"..as my Dad would say. lol.\n\nSo be aware, be savvy when checking things out and don't let them tie you into things that are not quality until you inspect the thoroughly. Happy House Hunting!
