Owned by Mason Properties- the certified slum apartments of DeKalb. The buildings are horribly insulated and have cracks in the doors. The screen doors barely work on a good day. Expect to pay $400 in electric bills in the winter because of poor heating. And now? To top it all off they want to get rid of visitor parking (which is on the leases!) and charge $7 indiscriminately for visitor parking. Whether it be an hour (which should be FREE) or for long-term. Don't live here.
When signing the lease at James Court through Mason Properties I was told all of the units were remodeled like the show unit.

Rent is raised annually, they make you sign a new lease every 6-8 months, they don't fix things like a broken step, or doors that aren't square letting air out & in, along with flies & spiders. People working here are nice, but the company, Mason Properties, is uncaring & greedy. There is no place to recycle either. I have lived here for 10 years & can't wait to get out.
My bike was stolen as well as my roommates bike.
