  • Worst Complex Ever

    August 1, 2023
    I would never recommend these apartments to anyone solely based on horrible management team. Unfortunately I forgot to document damage to my front door when I moved in, that happened before move in, and I just continued to live with the damage to avoid conflict as it didn't affect my living conditions at all. Management knew about the damages through the entirety of my stay because the door would creek while opening, but they never fixed it or bothered to ask me, and I get charged $200+ from my ...
    deposit for a new front door. The carpet was never cleaned before my move in, and it was matted down. I expressed my concern and dislike with this to them, and they refused to do anything. Another concern I have is when I moved in, the vinyl floors in the kitchen had a big scrape, and after multiple requests, they were fixed, but it makes me wonder if the resident before me was charged for the damaged floors, and they weren't fixed until I said something. I kept exceptional care of my living space, but was still charged out of my deposit for minor holes in the wall from decorations, which is annoying and something i've never been charged for in the past, but relatively understandable. I ignored bad reviews online because I was so excited to live there, and it turns out every single one of them was accurate. Don't make the same mistake as me and reside elsewhere.

    From the day I moved in I felt very welcomed by the staff. The few issues that needed to be fixed were all taken care of in a timely matter. The office and matainence staff seem to go above and beyond to take care of the property and residents. I am loving it here.

  • WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

    February 9, 2020
    1. Dog poop EVERYWHERE 2. Paper thin walls you can hear your neighbors talk 3. Aggressive dogs allowed 4. Management doesn’t seem to care about making better changes just waste money on making things pretty. 5. Very drafty so expect a hefty electric bill 6. Not built correctly at all. 7. No extra closets to speak of 8. Not private garages Just not worth the money. Go live somewhere else seriously.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Not what you pay for

    April 15, 2018
    The apartment looks nice enough and the new bark park looks pretty slick, however do not let them fool you with the inaccuracies posted on this site. 1. There are not "private, heated garages" as the bottom floor of the building is an indoor parking lot, which is fine (and market value-ish is charged), but not as advertised. 2. Water is NOT included. You will be charged for this separate to rent. Expect to pay 30 to 40 dollars a month extra for water and sewer. On a personal note: Hallway ...
    climate control is not very good and the apartment entry doors are really drafty. Expect a lot of hallway air/noise to come in through the front door. The internet has had quality/connection issues. Also, be prepared to pay for internet, they keep warning us it will probably be removed from services that are included soon, but hopefully not. Large cracks on the walls from new building settling will be seen and not all windows and sliding door fit perfectly anymore due to this. You many need to do a bit of personal weatherizing or expect to pay more on your energy bill. They will crucify you if they catch you smoking a cigarette on your porch or balcony (it says in your lease these are not designated smoking spaces), but there are a lot of illegal grills on patios that are forbidden as well... interesting that they pick and choose what to enforce while requiring renters insurance. I am a bit more worried that the place will burn down from a griller than a smoker, but as I said, personal note. The staff is young and I believe they try their best. The ownership has changed several times over the last couple years and I believe this was sold to the current company as some sort of "cash cow" and I am not sure how much those above the local staff care at all. Be ready to at least be frustrated with the administration as this place is NOT worth the cost.
