Avoid at all costs!
You are living in filth and Crickets are everywhere. In every room, bathroom and bathtub, etc. Asked for management to contact a "professional exterminator," exterminator did their thing it did nothing to the cricket frequency. I see up to 3 different crickets a day! Moved out as soon as I could. You can find a lot cleaner for a lot cheaper. AVOID!

Horrible Service
Horrible service, don’t recommend. They’re very well at collecting your money but ignore things that need to be fixed. Since we moved the cables in the room have been out getting in the way and we’ve been telling them since we moved and they don’t pay any mind. They can’t even manage to send someone to come and drain the water from the sink. The rent is not cheap and it’s even worse to live in an apartment where your needs aren’t met. Save yourself the horrible experience, don’t rent here.

Waste Of Money
Do not live here! This place turned out to be a complete waste of money. I moved into a dirty apartment; dirty floors, kitchen drawers and cabinets filled with food crumbs from previous tenants, bathroom had mold on the walls and ceilings (I knew someone else who lived here, they had mold problems too; likely a whole complex problem), hair and dirt in the drawers, bathtub was cracked as well. I had multiple issues with the apartment like the sink constantly leaking but they would never fix it,... ceiling fan came with a broken light, the mold was “fixed” only to return by the time I was moving out, roaches were found first night of move-in, my ceiling started leaking, and my fridge went out resulting in hundreds in loss of food. Paying for parking is not worth it considering multiple cars in the parking lot were vandalized first month of moving in. Homeless people will yell at you from your window to be let into the complex and also rummage through the trash right below your apartment. A person’s apartment was broken into, and it took months for a replacement window so they had tape up their window. Grit your teeth if you have roommate issues because management won’t do anything, even if it’s a hostile environment. They don’t care about your pets. Locks on the doors barely work. I got charged for painting and cleaning taking $200 out of my security deposit even though I know I left the apartment in better condition than I received it.

We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with us in 2022 was such a frustrating one. Moving into a new home should feel exciting and safe, and it's clear we missed the mark during your time here. From cleanliness and maintenance concerns to... safety and service issues — your feedback is valid, and we appreciate you taking the time to share it. Since then, we’ve made major property-wide changes, including a second phase of renovations to address long-standing issues like plumbing, appliances, and pest prevention. We’ve also implemented new management and maintenance teams, with a renewed focus on accountability, communication, and resident care. We know these updates can't undo your experience, but we want you to know that your feedback helped drive meaningful change. Thank you again, and we sincerely wish you the best moving forward.
