Renters Reviews and Ratings
Can not see the apartment before signing the lease
January 30, 2018I went their with all of the intentions on paying my application fee and with the hope of putting my deposit down to hold my unit. However when I was told that I could not see the unit that I would be living in and that I had to sign the lease first (or blind as they call it), I was lost for words. I was very disappoint... why would you sign/ buy something that you don't know what you are getting. They will show you the mock unit but that is not the one you will be getting. I was definitely ...disappoint and they need to come up with another way of doing things. However I walk anyway disappointed and now I just want to warn others..enter at your own risk... :(Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
