    Pros: Units have excellent layouts and terraces are nice. Good lighting & ample windows. New maintenance person is a new positive for the property. Parking garage is nice. Cons: Chronic marijuana smell & cigarette stench. Longstanding problem. Very filthy hallway carpeting and garbage room area on our floor. Management action regarding marijuana problem resolution is poor and close to zero. Management needs to up its game and focus on residents' quality of life. Improved responsiveness to ...
    complaints would also go a long way.

    Overall, very safe, maintenance, leasing office skills and professional tea needs to be a little more improved. It used to be very safe zone around the apartment but nowadays there are many people smoking and yelling around the apartment so security wise needs to be improved to.o.

      Hi there, Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention to address. If a noise, smoking, or other nuisance is reported, we conduct an internal investigation by first discussing it with staff and security to confirm if this issue has been reported to them and/or has been witnessed by them. The next step taken is to contact the surrounding neighbors to see if they are experiencing the same issue as well. Once the investigation is concluded and it is determined that the resident is in breach of their agreement, the next course of action is taken, which is the following: 1. Verbal talk (followed by an email recap for documentation) 2: Violation Notice Served 3-Legal Notice Served 4: Legal steps (in this step, the process and schedule are based on the legal department and court's availability). While we cannot share with you the steps that we are currently taking for this resident due to confidential purposes, we can just share the general steps that we take for recurring issues ...
      and lease violations. Our patrol officer is always available to assist residents after office hours. We also, share their contact to all resident.

    Community facility and surroundings are good, but poor maintenance. Only one security guard who is unable to reach many times, msg boxes are always full. Many people smokes in this bldg. but there is no strong violation to stop it.

    A bit overpriced with good amenities and terrible wifi. Amazing staff though— great at their jobs. A lot of small things don’t work but could be easily fixed: elevators, cleanliness of shared furniture, the butterfly Mx security system. Packages all around the mailroom that get stolen. I cleaned HVAC system (lots of dust).
