  • If you like disrespect, insects and inconvenience; you should live here!

    September 3, 2022
    You pay a lot of money for rent; but it's overpriced and service is hit and miss. I have lived here a few years. And with blessings, this will be my last year. Our dryer broke several weeks ago. They gave us access to another building to use a communtiy dryer. i have to go up and down steps; in the heat and walk a distance from my unit. They hide from confrontation, and won't allow you to contact Westminster Property Managment because they fear repercussion's even more than confrontations. Sadly, ...
    they prove that common sense, isn't common. Additionally, there are constant plumbing problems. Avoid the annoyance and avoid properties managed by Westminster.

  • THE TRUTH

    January 7, 2018
    DO NOT LET THE PICTURES OF THIS PLACE FOOL YOU. Yes, it may look "remodeled" but once you actually get to your apartment, everything has been poorly redone. Things not put together all the way or these "brand new" appliances not functioning properly. Then if you have issues with neighbors and go to the leasing office the will blow it off. For instance, my time here I was a pregnant military wife with my soldier away. My neighbor was constantly smoking marijuana and cigarettes in her apartment. I ...
    asked them not one time or two times, but 4 times for them to get to at least stop smoking marijuana in her apartment. But no one has done anything and all they offered was to give me a different apartment but there was "no guarantee" that I will not have the same issues. It's truly ridiculous on how they couldn't offer any help but that, but at my other apartments I stayed at I knew there were "strikes" that someone could get before being evicted, so they would rather have a pregnant woman suffer than to actually do something to benefit not only me but the surrounding neighbors like the rest of the families in my section of the building They clearly do not care about the residents here. Also, my lock system on my BRAND NEW "RENOVATED" apartment was all messed up and I said something to them, did they come fix it? Of course not. If I could give this place 0 stars I will. Take your money elsewhere because this place is not worth it. Also, If you have animals be careful where you walk them because this place doesn't treat for fleas and no one cleans up after their dogs mess.

  • Look elsewhere...

    February 14, 2017
    I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Management is terrible, and has only gotten worse under new management. They have recently "remodeled", which means slapping a coat of paint on rotten woodwork and rusted railings...all so they can jack up their prices. They will rip you off, not make requested repairs, and (to top it all off) tow your car for no reason. Please, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
