Nooo don’t move here!!!

These apartments suck now! At first when I moved here everything was ok before I got a upstairs neighbor who walks all day! The walls are paper thin!! You can hear everything had drug bust over here once! Drug dealing is at its high over here had my car broken in twice!!! And ppl just hanging out all times of night..I’m most certainly getting ready to move they can have this dump!

Drug Dealers Alert

Pretty much you get what you pay for. There's always some drug activity in the parking lot. The vent system sucked. We used to have a neighbor that smokes pot next door and it ALWAYS comes through our cents. There's always problems with our apartment such as our A/C keeps shutting off in the middle of the summer. Everything in our apartment before we moved in was jerry-rigged to hide all the imperfections left by the previous tenant. Parking always will be full by 6pm. And people will ALWAYS hit... your parked car because the parking lot is so crappy. Also, the walls are extremely thin so you can hear EVERYTHING from your neighbors.
