This place has had so many issues from their car break ins, to their internet. They don't have security, and the internet will go out for days at a time. There have been issues with fights breaking out at the pool and what sounded like gunshots at the pool a few days ago. Management will not fix any of the issues, and some of the pool party people absolutely trashed the building, and management has not addressed the issue, or informed anyone of the dangerous community.

THIS IS NOT luxury living apartments!
Unfortunately, my experience with 'The Helm' has been less than ideal. Generic responses to security concerns are not reassuring. The ongoing electrical and internet outages, defective fire alarms that have caused multiple false alarms and anxiety with our support dog. Ongoing and escalating trash removal issue(which we pay monthly valet trash fees for). Car break in's, very little parking for residents or guests', recent break-in of level 1 apartment. Safety concerns with doors and windows... not functioning properly are just to name a few. UNTIL these issues are resolved by management who are slow to come to any decisions, even with immediate security issues at hand AVOID The Helm! THIS IS NOT luxury living apartments!

Wouldn’t.
I have not enjoyed my time here so far, with it being a new apartment complex there is a decent amount of issues. From maintenance issues to the WiFi being inconsistent. The WiFi is bulk WiFi which cost more than fiber and is not consistent.
Parking so far seems to be the biggest issue. There are no spots. Not really sure what the plan was as there are less than 50 spots total and the first floor has 51 rooms!
