  • Definitely on my list!

    March 19, 2025
    I recently toured this property as I am looking to move from out of state. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. Mary was very sweet and professional. (Surprisingly this is hard to come across these days). I really like the floor plans and I’m definitely considering this as my next home.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Your Worst Mistake ...

    July 20, 2024
    The second worst apartment I've stayed at and I've rented with 14 apartments in my lifetime. Cockroaches and bug infestations every other week, horrible communication with management, and virtually no AC in the summer. The apartment temperature would be 83 degrees at 4am and that's with sun blocking curtains throughout the entire unit!!!! I'd rather sleep in a homeless ridden dump than do this again.

    • Property Manager Responded

      August 9, 2024

Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Roaches everywhere, not worth the price

    May 29, 2024
    There is a roach infestation, management doesn’t take it seriously. The pest control used clearly isn’t effective. Rent has gone up $500 in 3 years with no renovations made to the apt at all. With cheaper places around in better condition I would suggest staying away

    • Property Manager Responded

      June 7, 2024
      We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and we appreciate your feedback. We take pest control issues very seriously and we're committed to providing a comfortable living environment for all our residents.

  • Roach place

    August 6, 2023
    Helpless leasing office, fake advertising of property, warm AC, not hot heater and roaches are here.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Location and Low Cost

    October 14, 2022
    Great location with lots of skate and food spots around. There’s a place to grill and a nice pool. The updated laundry rooms are a lot better too. The apartments are low cost for their location which is great as well.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Great Amenities for Low Price

    September 30, 2022
    I've been a resident for a bit over a year and the amenities make living here very pleasant. The cost of my unit is the lowest I could find in the area but it didn't affect the quality. Definitely planning on staying here for a few more years.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Great Location and New Improvements

    September 30, 2022
    I like the new management and the new additions to the building (like the new dog park). They promise to keep adding more so I can't wait to see what else is in store!
    Review from Apartments.com

  • They be bribing the resident for good reviews

    September 2, 2022
    This place is trash, roaches treat this place like a palace to nest and live in. Management will overcharge you and come up with a million excuses before they will refund the excess. You basically have to harrass them to do their job and they even will question if your a resident even though they see you daily. The old Management was cheap but at least they where nice and seemed to care. These new people paint the building and think they can raise the rent exuberantly
    Review from Apartments.com

  • GREAT POOL

    September 2, 2022
    10/10 super nice staff very welcoming the renew renovations, make the place look amazing
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Great location

    Review from Apartments.com

  • stay away!

    June 3, 2022
    the management team is wildly apathetic and dismissive of issues. my dishwasher never worked the entire time i lived there, and management never considered it enough of an issue to fix/replace it. the apartment was also infested with roaches, even after hounding the leasing office to send an exterminator weekly, the issue was never resolved. you CANNOT break your lease, no matter what. so for the love of god do not sign with these people. no matter how cheap it is, do NOT give them a single ...
