  • Managment & Maintenace are horrendous

    March 4, 2025
    I moved into my apartment about 5 months ago now and my apartment was not move in ready. There was still dog hair and cobwebs left in the apartment from the past tenant. There was no working AC or Heat. It took over a month to get the AC fixed after countless time messaging management. It also took 4.5 months to get the heat fixed by bringing up getting lawyers until the heat got fixed (both these issues took the Maintenace crew less than an hour to fix). My washing machine went out and I had to ...
    remind management to fix it weeks after the part they had to order a new part. DO NOT MOVE IN HERE

  • So many issues. Just don't go here.

    November 18, 2024
    Where do I even begin? If I could give it a 0 I would. I would write more but there is a character limit. I can't put how long I've been here for anonymity, but just know it's been a sufficient length of time to see the good, bad, and ugly. The good: - The beach is the best feature, but you can only have one guest per UNIT. - The pool is ok when it's open - There are Grills at the pool and the beach - They have a basketball/tennis court, but it was closed for the majority of the time I've lived ...
    here for crime reasons - The gym is open 24/7 just good luck finding anything to disinfect with and several of the machines are broken. - The corner store nearby is phenomenal and has just about everything you might need in a pinch. The bad - Maintenance is the least responsive thing here. - The electrical in these buildings is old. If it's too windy expect your power to flicker or go out completely. Just about every socket is wiggly and the internet ports on the wall are painted over and many are broken. - You're stuck with basically one option for internet services - There is very limited parking unless you want to pay extra MONTHLY. - The unrenovated units are the definition of landlord makeover. Our floor has a dip in it, our bathroom door doesn't latch, our laundry room door doesn't even stay closed, our counter has a huge gap between it and the wall supporting it that they just filled with caulk (which peeled off), and the paint shows every mark. -When we moved in there was pink mold in the bathroom - Way overpriced for what you are (and aren't) getting. - There is no grace period for paying rent. The ugly: - We didn't have heat for months because they took so long to come fix it. - Our AC was out for almost the entire summer not that it is great at keeping it cool to begin with. - The towing company is predatory. They tow for: a pass being slightly obscured, tags being expired, parking in the same spot for more than a week (yes I'm serious), and if you are parked anywhere that isn't a parking spot. Yes you are stuck parking far away and needing to walk. - If the leasing agent tells you that you can do something that goes against the lease make sure you get it in writing + signatures because they do not stick to their word. - OH fun fact: they have bugs (found them in 3 different buildings) despite forcing everyone to get treated every couple of months.

  • maintenance issues

    August 21, 2024
    My partner had moved in a couple of months ago. When he moved in the apartment hadn’t really looked like what we toured but it was fine. We figured what we toured would look nicer anyways. However, the one shower didn’t work, the sink leaked and is causing the floor to cave under it, and the bathtub in the other bathroom is also doing the same. When the AC finally went out, a request was put in as an emergency since it was over 80° out. The apartment got hotter than the outside even when we tried ...
    getting fans and keeping the blinds closed. We called maintenance multiple times a day with no answer every day for a week. We also left VM with no responses. He could not stay there as it was so hot. It’s been frustrating to say the least especially since no one is doing anything about it. I read reviews maintenance was bad but what makes it worse is you don’t get any sort of response from anyone. Unfortunately they are only open a limited time so we couldn’t go in during works and there’s no maintenance during the weekend.

  • Overpriced, Amentities are basically for the public, maintenance is unexperienced and inconsistent

    July 9, 2024
    Staff is rude and inconsiderate, apartment buildings smell disgusting, valet trash pickup is inconsistent, maintenance delays work orders, and when they do “fix” the issue it’s messed up again a couple of weeks later. Oh and the amenities are not just for the tenants apparently there are random people from all over Columbus enjoying the pool, beach, and basketball court when it once was. Car and apartment break ins are frequent.

  • staff do not address maintenance

    September 30, 2023
    As a resident since may, I have not had my air conditioner working, and staff will not address and fix it, despite my constant complaints. They won’t communicate with me and refuse to address my concerns. Avoid renting

  • Need an apartment? Don't even consider it.

    October 14, 2022
    I've needed my sink repaired for over 5 months. I've attempted to call them, left voicemails, left emails, used the stupid app (that no one ever responds to), and talked in person, yet they do not reply to ANY calls/messages and in person they assure you that they will get right on it. 5 MONTHS. And what's even worse is the response is always the same, just take a look. It's copy/pasted explaining that they care about their renters and they want to make it right, just call this number and ...
    explain what's going on. In other words, leave a voicemail that you won't hear about and keep paying rent even if you can't use your sink.

  • Meh

    June 11, 2022
    Do you like overstated amenities? Do you like copious late fees? Do you like feeling like an inconvenience when you interact with your rental office employees? Do you like maintenance requests that go unaddressed for an annoyingly long time? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then have we got the dream apartments for you. I lived here for two years and my opinion is that this is a just-okay place to live; I've lived in worse places. They have some great features, but I am extremely ...
    dissatisfied with many aspects that relate to how the place is managed. They will hit you with late fees, and sneak in as many fees as they can when you move out.

  • Very, Very Nice

    October 3, 2020
    I have been increasingly impressed by the kindness and professionalism of both the office and maintenance staff. All have been very welcoming and responsive. The grounds are kept clean and the pool and beach are wonderful amenities. I have greatly enjoyed living here. The staff go out of their way to get to know each tenant and their pets personally. This is truly a special community.

  • Be careful

    August 21, 2020
    You can't beat the price and ammenities but a lot of issues. Careful of the dog park - people constantly have their aggressive dogs in there or leave the gates open. People will take large aggressive dogs into the small dog area. Looks nice but it's not safe. Constantly smelling weed. Constantly cliff jumpers behind my apartment. Constantly garbage laying everywhere. "Private" beach is not enforced enough good luck finding a chair on weekends. Leasing office staff are about useless - complaints ...
    do nothing. There is never anyone to monitor any of the ammenities. Moved in and apartment (esp carpet) was FILTHY!!! My feet left black marks in my tub. Vacuumed debris up for weeks. Orange stuff on my bathroom wall. Dryer was broken upon move in.

  • Don’t bother

    August 20, 2020
    The apartment, community, amenities and maintenance team are amazing, however the leasing office is a joke. I left 6 messages on their voicemail (good luck getting them to actually pick up), and never received a reply when I had an issue with my carport. Upon trying to re-lease, I’ve had to email and message them 6 times, called twice and stopped in face to face 4 times and still don’t have a lease to sign. I’m not sure what else to do at this point aside from leave. I have a friend trying to ...
    move in that has been waiting a month to find out if he has been approved, and they will not answer his calls or emails either. Don’t waste your time if you plan to ever ask for help with anything, even face to face, because it will not be done

  • Horrible Repair Services

    March 8, 2020
    Maintenance orders go days before being processed just for the same problems to happen a week later. Cannot wait to move out. Would not recommend renting here.
