  • BE VERY CAREFUL

    November 1, 2023
    After spending an insanely high and uncommon application fee of $335, I have not been able to reach a SINGLE employee to follow up on the status. I have left voicemails and sent emails. DO NOT SUBMIT PAYMENT unless you are actually on the property. If this is how the owner does business, I don’t want to live there anyway. I am however posting reviews everywhere I can and contacting the BBB to help any future applicants. Moving is already stressful and when you add the immensely overpriced ...
    apartments, horrible customer service and lack of business ethics and it’s just bad.

  • Keep Up the GREAT Work!

    February 20, 2019
    After living here awhile, I’ve enjoyed seeing the recent improvements. The office staff has been incredibly helpful, and the property is looking much better!
    Review from Apartments.com

  • HORRORIBLE!!!

    September 24, 2018
    Dont not move here!! The complex has completely went down and is steady getting worse! They loose people rent money and put them in other peoples accounts and try to evict you saying you didn't pay your rent, they made a tenant pay rent twice because they lost his rent check, there no AC, mold here is really bad, there's never anyone in the leasing office when you need them and they`re gone for days on end. Dont even think about moving here or giving them your hard eared money!!!
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Finally!!!

    June 1, 2018
    After all the years I've lived here we finally have after 6 different property managers one that is off the charts amazing. She cares about her tenants and the property, she is on top of it all. Millie is a BOSS!!!! Can't wait to sign my next lease. Thanks Millie for all that you do.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • Property is better than its ever been,

    June 1, 2018
    All we can say is since the new manager has come along there has been a big change to the property. It's a joy to visit the office and know that she is there and willing to help. Kimberly has never looked so happy and professional. Can't say enough about Javier and Ariel always going above and beyond. I've been her for five years and looking forward to another fiveeeee.

  • Nice Apt for good price

    August 16, 2015
    I have lived here over a year, and I am very happy with them. They have worked with me in a time I needed it. They always get maintenance done very quickly. Office people are very sweet and nice. Pool is nice and I plan on staying here for a little while.
    Review from Apartments.com

  • ok for a apartment

    August 13, 2015
    I've been living here about two years and the experience has been ok I wouldn't say the greatest. There seems to be a pest problem but they sent out pest control pretty quick. The staff is pretty nice but seems to cater more to the Spanish tenants.
