    disgusting, mice everywhere. Don't waste your time.

  • Horrible Experience!

    February 7, 2017
    I have been on the waiting list for about three years and now new Management comes in and wasted my time. I have to fill out a new applicant.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Rent with caution

    October 28, 2016
    Nice unit but rent here only if you're ok with constant gunfire on the corner of your apt, loud music from neighbors and drug front corner stores and constant police presence from all the crime. You're unit will be mixed in a neighborhood with public housing residents so there will most likely be much drug activity and crime where you'll live. U.P also has horrible mgmt. I've dealt with 5 different managers since living here and was forced to vacate due to a notice I never received.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Horrible Experience

    July 5, 2016
    I called numerous times and been place on hold for over 10 minutes. I was told that management had called me but my number was not in service. They have my address so why they did mail me notice of a available apartment. My experience so far has be horrible.

  • Rude, and not accommodating

    February 8, 2016
    I called on three different occasions to see if I would have a different experience and they were all the same. I was told that they are only open to come in for an application from 9am-12pm even though here (apartments.com) the times are listed and say open until 5pm. Now since I am a hardworking adult I have to work full-time to support myself I can't just take off work. Also, the open houses occur during the day as well, when I asked if I could schedule an appointment for a different time ...
    or possibly a weekend I was "shot down" in a very rude manner. Twice I gave my information so the person who gave the appointments could call back; She or whoever it was never called. I attend graduate school and work so all I am trying to do is view the apartment. I never thought a property would act so unprofessional to possible residents. All in all management needs to control the situation or they will continue to receive bad reviews.

  • No Pet Policy :(

    January 28, 2016
    I called and spoke to the property manager this morning and while she wasn't "overly pleasant", she made it clear that they are not willing to consider alternatives to their no-pet policy (I asked about paying a $500 non-refundable fee to have a small cat in the apartment). Such a shame too because this place seemed to be a great price for the location! Oh well, on to the next one.

    I called inquiring about a listing I saw and the woman I spoke to was unnecessarily snippy with me and not helpful at all

  • I don't live here, but I visited

    July 4, 2014
    I liked the area. When i visited there wasn't much noise. The apartments rates are a good price for those that aren't looking to spend their last each month.
