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.

I love the property is dog friendly; however, the amenities and condition of the grounds are terrible. There is a fire pit that built 4 years ago and never worked, as well as the BBQs. The grounds are a mess, with garbage everywhere and broken lighting and dog stations.

I had such a great experience at Hawthorne Commons thanks to Ashley, the assistant manager. She was incredibly helpful, patient, and kind throughout the entire apartment-search process. Ashley answered all my questions, made everything easy to understand, and truly went above and beyond to help me find my new home. I’m so grateful for her support and highly recommend working with her if you’re looking to move here!
