It’s going downhill. Amenities aren’t respected by residents and management doesn’t seem to care. There’s no housekeeping for the halls and the rugs and walls are filthy.

The management employees are amazing. Unfortunately the maintenance of the property is terrible. The grounds have large articles of garbage (concrete blocks, ladders, furniture) that has been lying around for a couple of years.

After 15 years of loving my home it has become less desirable. Sad I'm thinking of moving. Things have not progressed in a direction that I feel safe and comfortable living in. Being constantly stressed and unhappy from neighbors and situations

Mostly good except for the problem with the water bill claiming excessive usage. Even though it has gone down to a more normal lever, I never received an explanation as to why this even occurred. Maintenance does a good job and the grounds are mostly neat.

Management needs a huge upgrade. The grounds are not kept up with, policy about non-dangerous dogs on the lease has been completely ignored. Dog parks don’t get kept up with. Very expensive complex but living in public housing conditions.
