After spending an insanely high and uncommon application fee of $335, I have not been able to reach a SINGLE employee to follow up on the status. I have left voicemails and sent emails. DO NOT SUBMIT PAYMENT unless you are actually on the property. If this is how the owner does business, I don’t want to live there anyway. I am however posting reviews everywhere I can and contacting the BBB to help any future applicants. Moving is already stressful and when you add the immensely overpriced... apartments, horrible customer service and lack of business ethics and it’s just bad.

Keep Up the GREAT Work!
After living here awhile, I’ve enjoyed seeing the recent improvements. The office staff has been incredibly helpful, and the property is looking much better!

HORRORIBLE!!!
Dont not move here!! The complex has completely went down and is steady getting worse! They loose people rent money and put them in other peoples accounts and try to evict you saying you didn't pay your rent, they made a tenant pay rent twice because they lost his rent check, there no AC, mold here is really bad, there's never anyone in the leasing office when you need them and they`re gone for days on end. Dont even think about moving here or giving them your hard eared money!!!

Property is better than its ever been,
All we can say is since the new manager has come along there has been a big change to the property. It's a joy to visit the office and know that she is there and willing to help. Kimberly has never looked so happy and professional. Can't say enough about Javier and Ariel always going above and beyond. I've been her for five years and looking forward to another fiveeeee.
