Caution- You don't get what you pay for.

Homeless people sleeping in common areas has been an issue.
People defecating outside of your window.
Mean neighbors.
I would strongly recommend that you find another place to live besides here.

They expect you to maintain their equipment. I have to buy water and air filters for the apartment. CRAZY.

Pipes are always clogged.

This place is overrun with dogs. It smells of evaporating urine 95% of the time.

Poorly insulated. Energy costs are high.

I could go on, but i think you get...
the idea.

Horrible place. Avoid at all costs

Avoid this absolute dump of a hell hole like you would avoid the plague. Service requests are not handled.
My kitchen sink will not drain and because it is not an emergency it will be handled in two days or I could have them come out for a service charge.
I had to submit 11 service requests to get them to fix my AC.
I had to threaten to call 911 to have the fire department come out to fix a smoking breaker and the list goes on and on.

While the leasing office staff seem nice and all happy. They...
will do nothing short of stabbing you in the back when you aren’t looking. Avoid this place like your life depends on it!!!!

Wonderful Place- check it out.

Alright - so the apartments/amenities are great and the team of folks who keep it looking and feeling wonderful are amazing! From the maintenance team to the front office ladies, I dig them all… Last year I wouldn’t have said this, because it wasn’t and I don’t like to lie, but with Crystal still there and the new Property Manager, Kelly it has really turned around! I just renewed my lease because of these ladies. They’ve transmuted all the negative energy that maybe was from previous folks and... they’ve really teamed up to make it a great space for those of us that call this home… there are great little things they put on for the tenants to show their appreciation like “wine down wednesdays” where people come together in the common area and relax a bit midweek and just get to know one another. The vibes are lighthearted and easy going.

If you’re an introvert, people don’t bother you at all either, so you can go about your business and folks will just stay in their lane.

All in all it’s solid now and I appreciate the effort they make.

Avoid this place!

They will make you feel amazing before moving in, but you will be nothing but trash to them once you actually move in. I lived here 1.5 years. This place has:

-cars broken into regularly

_get ready for 10 to 15 minute wait times at the elevator every morning and evening at rush hour.
-horrible management team that's almost completely unresponsive to any issue you have
-maintance team that will take months to fix your issues, and in many of my tickets, never fix the issue at all
-all fixtures...
, appliances, walls, materials are very weak and cheap. Everything breaks. If you bump against your walls, you will scratch the thin satin paint. It stains by touching it, and a damp cloth to clean it will rip the paint off. They will charge full price to repaint when you move out.
-no guest parking at all. My guests were always frustrated.
-they say they have guest access but it never works. You will have to go downstairs every time to let someone in.
-move out guidelines and charges are the highest I've ever seen. Just my move out charges were $1700 and I left it in good condition.


At the end of the day your experience will be nothing that resembles luxury.

Hello, there. We value the community we've worked so hard to create and with that value comes our need to keep things secure. It is a security measure for residents to escort their guests to their apartments so there is less risk of issues arising... with unauthorized people roaming our hallways. We hope we can speak with you directly regarding these matters. Thanks.

Large Quantity Of Air BNB Units Terrible Management

Facts:

AirBnB:
Air BNB is allowed at this complex. I have had multiple lesss than desirable experiences with air bnb guests. Asking where their room is, and generally not treating the property like permanent residents would. Although management insists robust background checks are in place, I am breaking my lease to pursue a property that does not allow this practice.

When I first asked about the Air Bnb I was told this was a "grandfathered" in clause from the previous management company....
Since then they have changed their position that it's not grandfathered in, its simply something they wish to continue.

Management:
After informing the property manager of my intention to litigate this situation that myself and several other tenants have complained about, I was given a laughable (I think serious) response that because I mentioned other tenants dissatisfaction I was some how breaking my lease agreement.

Fortunately I have no cost legal representation offered by my employer, otherwise this would be a nightmare to get straightened out !
