Staff,

impossible to contact

I was so excited to view this property and have been reaching out for weeks both email and over the phone and am extremely disappointed in their lack of communication. If they won’t even communicate to new people trying to give them their money, how do they treat their residents?

Does this place have management?

I have tried to contact them for a week now and they don’t email or call back. Disgusting customer service.
