Great Place to Live
September 5, 2022I've live here for 2.5 years, never had any issues with neighbors, I always see children having fun outside, pretty quiet, the staff has always been kind and professional, and they always fix any issues asap. I'm going to move out soon to move in with my boyfriend and I'm honestly pretty sad to leave.Property Manager Responded

Review from Apartments.com
MOST UNSAFE apartment community in the Polaris area
November 26, 2019This is the MOST UNSAFE apartment community in the Polaris area. Recently there is a series of burglaries happened in this apartment community. Also there were many incidents where cars were damaged and stolen. However, the apartment management is not willing to take any actions on that. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. I am also planning to leave this place soon.Property Manager Responded
December 3, 2019We want to assure you that safety is our top priority. Our team would like to speak with you, but we cannot locate you in our records as a current nor past resident. We feel this is a mischaracterization of our community and we would love to connect with you about this. Please feel free to drop by our office or give us a call at (614) 781-8220. Thank you.
