The pros: Litchfield Heights is a great place to call home. They are very large (over 1000sq for a 2 bedroom) plus you have a basement. The views of the hills are beautiful! The townhome style apartments are fantastic with an upstairs and downstairs and really have that house feel. They have a great layout and are very sunny and bright with large windows. They also have a great & friendly maintenance team that gets the job done right & quickly. The heat is included and works very well! They are very affordable and clean. Most of the neighbors were extremely kind. There were birthday parties that all the kids were invited to and everyone had a great time. The cons: There are a few downsides. The laundry is on site, it is expensive, and it closes at 9pm. $1.75 for the washer and $1.75 for the dryer can really add up. It was always a pain to get $10 in quarters and that didn't even cover 3 full loads. It is unfortunate that these apartments don't have washers/dryers in them. The winter months are a real headache. They plow the road and you literally will have 6ft of snow on top your car. Soon later, the landlord will be knocking on your door to tell you to shovel out your car or threatened to have it towed. You are not allowed to park your car on the side road as the police do not allow it. It is all mess and a real nightmare but is to be expected living through a Connecticut winter. During heavy rain storms, our basement had some flooding. This happened twice during the year we lived there. For the most part, noise levels were low. There was always that one or two tenants who seemed to cause problems (Loud, cursing, arguing with another tenant). We just avoided them and this didn't detour us from living here. Some of the minor downsides are they don't have a dishwasher and you have to buy your own a/c. The upstairs can get really hot in the summer but is manageable (we only bought an a/c for the downstairs). Overall, I would highly recommend Litchfield Heights. Winsted is a great town and is safe with virtually no crime. The surrounding areas like Torrington, Canton (visit the Shoppes at Farmington Valley) and Avon are all beautiful. There is plenty of grass for your child to play and ride their bike. You won't be disappointed!

Management has been doing a better job of evicting the worst tenants and apparently of screening new ones as well. It has been quieter. Maintenace has been quick and polite in responding to calls as well. So, I'd give it four stars now. These apartments really are very nice inside and tenants get some leeway in decorating, planting little gardens, and so on which is also nice. There is a ton of basement storage room in the bigger apartments, and the view is very pretty, esp. higher up on the hill. It would be a huge help if we had washers and dryers in the units as it costs a fortune to do laundry for a family every month at $3.50 total per load to wash and dry. That is something to consider if you want to move up here as it really adds up and it is a big pain to always have to get laundry quarters as that is all the machines take. But, these apartments really are a good deal if you look around at what is out there as long as they keep screening tenants well.

If you are paying "market rent" (now $860 for a three bedroom and going up again soon no doubt) you can do better elsewhere. Management allows a select few tenants to continually make life miserable for the rest, despite repeated serious violations. Four families have contacted the police and managment about one set of tenants and they are still here making life miserable despite provisions in the lease against disturbing the peace. The lease is not enforced. These are very nice apartments inside, but take a look around outside, at who you will be living next to, and do not be fooled. Ask how long the last tenant was there and why they left. Tenants are leaving in droves for a reason.

beautiful and spacious on the inside! Gorgeous views! Very poor maintenance crew. Plowing is not done in a timely manner what so ever. The hill is steep and that isn't typically plowed until 12-3 pm. that's on a good day with not too much snow. So if you work and have to drive yourself there this is the last place you should be. And if you need any services you may as well do it yourself cause otherwise you'll wait a long time.
