After the fire on May 29th that wiped out the other half of our complex (that was caused due too their negligence in hiring the proper professionals for maintenance) , I had too get a hotel room for two nights amongst other essentials , they are refusing too reimburse me and its almost been two months already. Emily and Ruben only care about their money , not your life.

Avoid at all costs!

You are living in filth and Crickets are everywhere. In every room, bathroom and bathtub, etc. Asked for management to contact a "professional exterminator," exterminator did their thing it did nothing to the cricket frequency. I see up to 3 different crickets a day! Moved out as soon as I could. You can find a lot cleaner for a lot cheaper. AVOID!

We also encourage residents to report ongoing activity so we can address it promptly and thoroughly. We regret that this impacted your time with us, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our processes and prevention measures.

Horrible Service

Horrible service, don’t recommend. They’re very well at collecting your money but ignore things that need to be fixed. Since we moved the cables in the room have been out getting in the way and we’ve been telling them since we moved and they don’t pay any mind. They can’t even manage to send someone to come and drain the water from the sink. The rent is not cheap and it’s even worse to live in an apartment where your needs aren’t met. Save yourself the horrible experience, don’t rent here.
