Don't like the service. Not worth the money at all.
The maintenance here is extremely poor. The heater often doesn’t turn on even when the temperature is very low, and the apartment gets uncomfortably cold. When we report it, staff briefly turns the heater on, checks it, says it’s “working,” and then turns it off again after leaving. Hot water is unreliable, and even the drinking water is a problem, it frequently looks cloudy or milky. I usually have to go all the way to the gym area just to get filtered water. They charge so much for rent but... don’t provide the basic services they should. Overall, it’s nowhere near worth the money.

Nightmare Rental - AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
Management is negligent, maintenance never comes to fix your issues, the units are severely overpriced, there are pests, it’s just an awful experience living here. The water for the units also is inconsistently heated, so you will have the heat set to one particular setting and then the water will oscillate from scalding hot to freezing cold. Management refuses to take accountability or apologize for any issues with the building. They never communicate. Miserable experience.

Horrible place to live
As of 11/2023, they have turned this place into a dormitory for the IIT students. They are college kids and nasty. They have destroyed the laundry room. This complex has no security. Yes, they hired security, but they spend so much time outside talking loud, having their boyfriends coming to the job trying to fight. They will not update your apartment until you leave. Cars in the parking lot is constantly being broke into. If your are a college student, yes, this is a place for you. ... However, if you are an adult and take your living space serous, do not move here. My lease is almost up and I can’t wait! Lastly, management is not your friend unless you are a college student.

Poor management and high prices
Do not fall in this.No management and security for the buildings, the cars in parking lot shared between more than 600 units which your paying for kept being damaged or stolen and no security is responsible for that and they do not care. My car and also four of my friend’s car were damaged for Catalytic converter theft and all of us reported that and still they do not put a fixed security car in that parking lot. The prices are so high and is goes much higher for no reason every year.
