I hope you like waking up to false fire alarms every week

Hopefully somebody reads this before considering moving here. Here's what you will experience. You'll get home from a long day at work looking forward to relaxing and getting a good nights sleep. After navigating the traffic from the train station in front of the parking garage entrance, you'll finally make it downstairs into the garage and into your designated parking spot that leaks mysterious liquid onto your car. But don't worry you can email the manager of the parking garage, Carson!. He'll... be harge to de or out pantine
spot. You'll then take the elevator up to your floor and into your apartment. If you had plans of doing laundry, great! Just don't plan on watching tv or using literally anything that plugs into the wall while using the dryer because the breaker will pop. You can call maintenance about it so they can come look at the breaker, say they fixed it and continue living with the same problem. Once you've finally finished doing your laundry in total silence you can count on your upstairs neighbor to break that silence for you during "quiet hours". But don't worry, this place has your back. All you need to do is email the office and they will send a generalized email to all tenants reminding them of "quiet hours" You'll read that email while listening to your upstairs neighbor rearranging their furniture at 11pm. Finally it's bed time. You've got a big day at work tomorrow and you need a good nights sleep.
Well hopefully you can get that while the fire alarms are going off at any time between 12am-4am. And I'm not talking about smoke detectors, I'm talking school fire drill fire alarms in your apartment. It's louder than you can even imagine. You can count on this to happen at least once a week. Tenants here have grown accustomed to these false alarms so nobody evacuates, we just wait for the alarms to stop. I guess we'll find out it's a real fire when we're trapped on the 4th floor. You might wonder what caused the alarms to go off, and you'll continue to wonder because nobody in management or anybody in the office reaches out to explain or even apologize for the inconvenience. I will be contacting the fire marshal

Clean and brand-new apartment with the best location. Residents are polite and respectful. Come with covered and reserved parking space. Except for the pricy rent everything is highly recommended.

The best gym and Amazon lock box system I had seen. Great to have the many food and beverage outlets right on property. The front office team is the best - always friendly, proactive and knowledgeable

The core is a fabulous place to live especially if you are a pet owner. The food options are endless and the staff provides excellent customer service. The parking garage is a nice amenity as well especially for the cold and rainy days. I love my apartment layout. It’s perfect for my family needs. The grounds are always kept well and it’s always someone around to have handle any problem you need to fixed. My family loves being apart of the core community!
