  • Great option to live and nice staff

    April 10, 2024
    While searching for an apartment, the lady I spoke to was very nice and informative. She took the time and gave me all the information I needed. She was knowledgeable and responded to my questions in a timely manner. I was referred to the location by friends who know the area.

  • roach infested!

    December 19, 2022
    only lived here for 6 months and I cannot stress enough how poor these apartments are kept clean. they've marked my pest control requests as completed without spraying, which is shady at best. water turn offs without notification, and the washers and dryers are always broken. would not recommend this complex to ANYONE. unless you like roaches crawling everywhere and your vehicles getting booted for no reason.

  • Not worth the $

    November 17, 2022
    The pool was closed until Sept and then closed again weeks later, on-site laundry has 1 or 2 working machines but the water's constantly off, out bldg has been without water 10 times in the last 6 months (for days at a time). You can find better for the same price if you just look around.

  • Nope No No Nooooooo

    June 18, 2022
    For one, this place doesn’t care about the requests you put in to fix things. I’ve input several requests and no one has showed up, for almost a year. I follow up but just get told to put in another request () Also, the management is so unprofessional, my roommate signed his name off the lease but their name still appears on the lease agreement and they told me he has to to come in to sign his name off even though WE BOTH went to the office to sign his name off. This said friend now lives half ...
    way across the country and is extremely disappointed by this as well as he has to make a trip back to sign his name off AGAIN. Oh! They told me to remove my vehicle off the property or else it will get towed since it stays parked in one spot; I’ve informed them that I work from home and stay home most the time and don’t go out because it was still a pandemic and I feared for my health but they didn’t care and told me to remove my car from their property or else the tow will come and get it. My vehicle is working and nothing is wrong with it. Tags are up to date, insurance is paid, but I just don’t go anywhere. They lock the laundry room even though your still doing your laundry and when you’re not doing laundry, the doors are wide open all night and washers/dryers are broken. They started locking the doors before they put up the sign for the laundry hours! IVE WASTED MONEY ON THIS AND HAD WET CLOTHES SIT IN THE WASHER ALL NIGHT for days until they finally put a sign up! Bugs everywhere, no matter how much I clean and clean and clean, bugs are just everywhere and they won’t do anything about it! I’m moving out, if you can put up with unprofessionalism and filth, then this place is the perfect spot for you!

  • Major Improvements!

    February 11, 2022
    So happy to see all the wonderful improvements here, especially now to have all gates. Ignore the prior reviews, this has changed for the best!!! Team is very attentive and kind, so happy I live here.

  • Not a bad place to live, but Management is terrible.

    February 10, 2022
    Management does not deal with issues on a timely manner. It has occurred multiple times where we have to call a number of times to get issues resolved. Usually have to wait at least a month to get it fixed.

  • would rather live in a cardboard box

    March 27, 2020
    If you’re considering living here I highly recommend finding a new place to move to. I’ve lived here less than 2 months with no consistent hot water, a broken into car (and almost stolen), and so many lies and unkept promises by the management team that I’m now having to take legal action to move out of this hell hole and get my money back. If you can find a privately owned apartment complex I highly recommend that just because they’re usually a lot better at taking care of their residents and ...
    generally realize that they’re running a housing facility and not a zoo. These people will take your money and tell you that you can move in within the same week and then once you give them the money they won’t contact you or answer your calls for 2 weeks (After being informed that your move into these apartments is urgent). I genuinely have nothing nice to say about these apartments. They’ll make things seem really really nice for you and like this is the complex for you but as soon as your lease is signed and your money is given to them they couldn’t care less about what happens to you, your family, or your stuff. Save yourself a trip here and save yourself a lot of money by finding literally anywhere else to live (a cardboard box is preferable over this and that doesn’t have any hot water at all so that’s saying a lot).

  • Sleeping Happy

    June 21, 2019
    I over heard someone talking about a bug problem and I PANICKED!!!! I asked them what was going on, I literally just moved in as I started to wonder what I was getting myself into. Apparently there have been people who are complaining of this issue, but the tenant I spoke to said they have been here since Jan 2019 and haven’t seen a thing, it was just a convo they heard and were stating they haven’t had an issue. Maybe I shouldn’t ease drop, I’m just nosy. I guess theres a building that has had ...
    bug problem, but the office said they are removing tenant from this building to have it sprayed to fix the problem. No matter what I did leave with jitters and as much as I didn’t want to check behind things I knew I had to for the peace of THIS IS MY HOME!!! I had this guy I’m seeing come over and do it, I didn’t tell him what he was looking for, I just said I needed to make sure things were plugged in right. He prob thinks I’m crazy. Too bad! Nothing, I moved the fridge, stove and looked under both sinks. I’ve been here a month and I haven’t seen any bugs, THANK GOD!! Either people are just complaining or that building needs work. I’ll definitely be watch to see.

    June 20, 2019
    Moved in the beginning of the year. I’ve seen a lot of traffic with people moving out and new people coming in. I’ve met a few new neighbors we are thinking of creating a monthly group to get together and meet. Pool parties for the summer.

  • Enjoying my new spot

    June 10, 2019
    Recently moved into the complex and I’m enjoying meeting new neighbors when I walk my dog or I’m doing laundry. It’s so nice to have a clean and new laundry room, I’ve always lived in places where the machines are out of order or theres residue from detergent on the counters. Thank you for a clean space!
