                            We are so sorry that your experience with us yesterday was not a pleasant one. Please know that our management team strives to address plumbing leaks and any related inconveniences as quickly as possible. We know how frustrating it is - for everyone involved. It is our policy that notices are provided to residents, in a timely manner, on any such occasion. The exception would be when there is an emergency repair, as was the case yesterday. If you would like to discuss your experience yesterday, or any of your other concerns, please contact the office to set up a time for us to resolve these together. Thank you for being a valued resident of Ivy Park.

                                    Q: What is the estimated utility bill for one person?

                                    A: Of course it depends on how the individual uses their utilities but water is included in the cost of rent, my power bill is anywhere from $30-$50, and my gas bill is usually around $100. Hope this helps!
