Merritt Station II Senior Apartments

I toured Merritt Station II Senior Apartments. What I liked is the location. You can get to a lot of places. The people were very nice. They let me look at the facility and the apartment. Everything has been updated, very nice.

Merritt Station II Senior Apartments rejected me. They looked at my pay and said, "You're making too much." I said I'm about to retire. I wanted to go to Merritt Station II, and I found it nice. I went to their open house. They showed me two different-sized one-bedrooms. I liked the location. It's not too far from stores that I can shop at. It was nice and quiet. The staff was nice. It was very clean. It seems like a new building. The size of the rooms is smaller than what I've been living in.

We didn't qualify for the Merritt Station II Senior Apartments because of our income. Nevertheless, the tour was wonderful. They did a very nice job. It's a beautiful place. They were very nice people. They helped us in every way. We've checked some actual apartments, and they're really a sky-high price. It's too much money. They don't offer food there, but you do your own thing. They have exercise and they have a dog walking area. It's brand spanking new, so it's really beautiful. I would've been in there by now if they had approved us.

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.
