  • looks are deceiving

    November 13, 2024
    The apartment complex on the outside is a dream. The inside is also nice, but here’s the con: the manager is rude for everyone that says she’s not they are lying of course she’s nice when you first look at the unit, but all she does is approve young immature individuals who are filthy each floor has a unique marijuana smell. Individuals are fighting with their partners who are not on the lease. There are a ton of kids in their unit that the parents clearly don’t set bedtimes for, individuals who ...
    work all day and night let their dogs poop and pee in the common areas. We cannot forget the homeless people who camp in front or the side of the building be aware looks are deceiving.

  • Great place to live.

    September 22, 2023
    I recently just a lease signed and I'm all moved in. The property manager was super nice and easy to work with. Answered all my emails within a day. Super chill building, the amenities are exquisite, and the apartment i moved into was clean and ready for me. It is a little hard getting your foot in the door but just make sure you call everyday when they're open from 10:30 to 4:30 and you're bound to make it happen. I would 10/10 recommend. Good luck :)

  • don't answer questions/calls

    Have been calling for more than two weeks now and no response, just an automated voicemail and automated emails that won't be responded to.

  • Poor Service.

    April 26, 2022
    I have been trying to apply to this building for about a month, the lady who answered the phone said twice that she would send the application and call back to schedule a tour. She never sent anything or call back. I have been calling every week, two or more times a week and NO ONE answers. Now I question how will the service is when you are a resident and have issues.
