  • Actually a 0 Star Property

    August 4, 2024
    I wish I could give this place 0 stars because of how awful it truly is. Every other issue posted by people on here is 100% true. They have massive water issues with back ups into apartments and leaks, constantly being turned off. I experienced that in both my tub as well as constant flooding issues through my washer/dryer combo (which also destroyed $500+ worth of clothing). Place started flooding up through the floors as well with rain right before I cut my lease and moved. If you have a 1 ...
    bedroom - make sure your AC doesn't sound like a train and is located in your bedroom (?) of all places. Apartment itself had peeling paint, terrible smells, and poorly installed/fixed issues. The floor itself with move-in was installed with rocks under it that I had to dig out. Holes in the wall covered with chicken wire. Big issue with mold as I found in the AC and bathroom as well. I showed them pictures and contacted them on multiple occasions about it and was told in a very condescending manor that I was just 'upset.' They truly don't care. Communication was impossible with them, never answered emails. The only way I was able to get them to respond was a BBB complaint where they agreed to waive my outstanding balance from the termination fee. They then however decided to also send that over to a collection agency so now we get to go through that whole litigation drama. Heed the reviews from people, they aren't lying.

  • Worst Apartment EVER

    October 4, 2022
    The women inside the office are truly incapable of critical thinking, simple procedures, and lack intelligence. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this apartment complex by far the worst I have experienced, unfortunately. Dirty environment, bugs everywhere. Save yourself!

  • Stay Away!!!

    June 7, 2022
    Poorly managed apartment complex. Rare if someone answers the office phone. Takes over a week for simple maintenance requests to be addressed. Garbage that we are suppose to leave out after 7:00 pm is all over the parking lots. We're always dragging cheap landscaping shells into our apartment. Dumster always full and stinks when getting mail from mailboxes at the dumpster. Exit gate always damanged. Maintenance low and rent is high and keeps going up. You have to pay for everything they say they ...

  • Terrible management

    November 4, 2019
    Lived there for 4+ years. Mold in the unit, bathroom tile and tub peeling, promised by management to fix for 2 years, never happened. Gym with no AC working, no one cares. Drastically raised rent every year and when I eventually moved out, they withheld my security deposit and changed extra for leaving items in the apt which I didn’t.

  • Tenant for 3 years -- The good, the bad, and the ugly

    August 20, 2019
    I made good friends there over 3 years. There were plenty of friendly neighbors. The property is dog-friendly. Even most of the office staff I interacted with were friendly. Maintenance was prompt. I did not witness or even hear rumors of any crime. I left my door unlocked 90% of the time, and nothing was ever stolen or missing. Great location. Insects were well-controlled. The bad --- Rent kept going up. I think for my last lease, the 10 month rate was cheaper than the 12 month, which ...
    was weird, and I felt suspicious. My car was totaled in the parking lot by a rodent infestation. Repeated water shut-offs sometimes with little or no warning... The ugly --- I tried my best to avoid one manager in particular, but I couldn't, even at move-out. I just had a phone conversation with her, disputing the move-out charges mailed to me. I felt they were: fabricated, grossly inflated, redundant (duplicate and TRIPLICATE charges), otherwise covered by wear and tear, and needed receipts to verify cost. After talking on the phone, add to that: intentionally punitive, intentionally "unfriendly", admittedly made-up, and ignores the move-in checklist from 3 years ago. In short, this manager openly admitted multiple times that the move-out charges were made-up, serve as punishment, and applied to all tenants. I was literally flabbergasted on the phone and did not know what to say. She refused to remove a charge, even for an item identified on the move-in checklist.

    Staff is really friendly and there is plenty of amenities to accommodate you. Laundry is convenient. Anything I have issues with I bring it to their attention and they resolve it immediately. Maintenance staff is incredible. My unit is spacious and had some renovations done. it’s a nice and private. Tucked away from main roads but close to access from both exits of the property.

  • The worst attention to possible resident

    April 2, 2018
    They didn't even allow me to sit down from the door telling me that there were no Apartments available. Not knowing what Apartment I want. Apparently they're paid to scare the public. I don't recommend anyone to go to that place. Now I saw the reviews and I understand why they have such a low rating. With that bad attitude, nobody would want to live there

  • Payment is difficult

    August 26, 2017
    Apartment complex will not accept rent checks on Saturday despite the office being open. The complex also does not have a rent check drop box, which makes payment difficult unnecessarily.

    September 18, 2016
    I've been living here for over a year. it is not worth the price they charge. they are constantly doing "renovations" but the place doesn't look well. they just repaint the apartments and put cheep carpet in. there are houses for rent at the price I'm paying for more sq ft. the dog rent is ridiculous. the small dog park is full of feces. I've never had a problem with fleas until moving here.

    think twice and way do your research. Kids who threaten to beat up other peoples kids. Upgrades that never happen. Safety, telling you one thing before moving in only to find out they were being dishonest. the niceness wears off after you move in. All they want is your rent. Can't wait till my lease is up in Dec. Please second think your decision to live here.
