Question Purple Martin Apartment Yes/No/Maybe advice?

We have tried hummingbird feeders and currently a small seed birdfeeder with very little if any luck attracting much. We live next to a small pond on a golf course and it really seems strange we haven't been able to attract many small birds (there are a lot of pond birds). In upstate NY they were plentiful. So now I'm thinking of a Purple martin apartment and would like some advice from readers who have tried one and how successful it was attracting birds. Any advice on which one to get or how much effort they require to maintain (I'm not big on maintenance) and the best place to buy one. Thanks for your comments/advice. Actually, any advice on bird feeders in general that you have been successful would would be helpful.
