It has been a month and this place has been the best apartment we have ever had in 3 metro areas. Fireplace is nice and the open kitchen. The parking garage is convenient along with the general location. To have a balcany with trees outside for the cat to look out is nice also. Lastly, the washer and dryer and dishwasher have been a real time saver also.
they are doing work around the property. I don't see many of the things that were wrtitten about in past reviews.
They may just need to... do some work with rain runoff.

I am a former resident, and my entire experience was AWFUL.
- My unit was infested by rodents, and property staff continued to promise me the issue was fixed. I continued to report rodent problems for 5 months! One member of the staff found a dead rodent in my pantry and asked to dispose of it in MY trashcan!
- Ceiling and wall tiles were falling apart in the building hallways. You could hear and see rodents within the open holes in the ceilings and walls. It took MONTHS for property staff to... fix this.
- Awful odors in the buildings. Property staff attempted to fix this issue but attaching CAR AIR FRESHENERS to the air vents in the hallways... safe to say that didn't fix anything.
- There was also a fly infestation in the building. Property staff fixed this issue by spraying pesticides in the building causing all of the flies to lie dead inside the building on the carpet. Hundreds of dead flies were scattered all over the hallways for MONTHS before property staff cleaned them.
- One time in the middle of the night, I saw a car on fire in the parking lot. I recorded the scene while the car proceeded to EXPLODE. Police and firefighters arrived on site and investigated.
- The day I moved out of this property, news reports released that 2 people were SHOT inside the building I lived in. So scary!
PLEASE do not live here! It is not safe, not clean, and not livable. What made everything worse was that it was impossible to contact property staff by phone or email, and the office hours were very limited. So you have to take time out of your work day to hunt somebody down in the office to report issues and receive updates. Even through all of these issues during my stay, the property would not let me break my lease until I threatened legal action! For the sake of you and your loved ones, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY.
