Pros:
Affordable
Has walls and ceiling
Ours has a large kitchen (like bigger than most apartments)
It's 720 sq ft which is not bad for a 1 bedroom apt
Maintenance is free
Every time you renew your lease you get a prize (this time it was carpet cleaning, I want next time to be painting a wall orange)
Staff is friendly
No need to mow the lawn or rake the leaves
Tiny backyard
First floor, absolutely no stairs to get in or out the front door
Privacy fence

Cons:
Every thursday is lawn care and they are really loud and annoying in the morning
Rent keeps going up when renewing the lease (was $485, now it's $570)
Hearing footsteps every time someone goes up or down the stairs and my dog barks at them
Small even though I boasted about its size earlier
Backyard is just concrete, no actual yard
Poor insulation, in the winter it gets down to 60 degrees when we have the heat on at 75
So that means the electricity bill is high
Maintenance never gets there when they say they will, would rather fix things on my own
The carpet stains really easily
No washer and dryer in the home
Walls are textured so you can't put up 3M strip hooks
