Merritt Station II Senior Apartments

Susan

I would have already chosen Merritt Station II Senior Apartments, but they said I make $2,000 too much to be there. Everything about the tour was great and the place was beautiful. They're immaculate because they're brand new. It's like being in a high-end hotel. My only problem is how they come up with their decision on the cut-off amount for income. It's ridiculous, in reality, unless some people aren't up and up about it. I'm being upfront and 100% honest about how much I make but they said I'm $2,000 a year too much. I wonder how much that is broken down weekly or maybe I have to retire in order to get a place there. I also think they shouldn't go by gross income because one still has to pay taxes and insurance. I pay $600-$700 in benefits so that knocks my paycheck down. The actual check I get would have qualified after that but because they do it after taxes then I don't qualify. Another thing that I don't understand is that, while I was taking the tour of the place, I saw people with vehicles going in and out of there and I wondered how they maintain a car properly while doing it right with insurance. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't know how they came up with these figures. The room I wanted was a 1-bedroom, I did not want anything elaborate. They have bingo and things like that which attracted me to the place. I realize they have a cut off but to me, each situation should be evaluated a little bit further. Other than that, based on the building, the set-up, and the apartments, they are great. The staff was also great.

I toured Merritt Station Apartments. It was lovely. It was clean and friendly. The floor plan was excellent and perfect for my needs. They have a gym. There's a shopping mall right across the street from it, so that's pretty good. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. It's a new building.
