NOT A LUXURY LIFESTYLE — ONGOING COCKROACH INFESTATION PROPERTY-WIDE PROBLEM. HEALTH AGENCIES INVOLVED.

I moved in August 2025 expecting a clean, safe place to live. That has not been my experience to say the least.

There has been an ongoing cockroach issue despite multiple pest control visits (my apartment alone has been sprayed four times). The problem has not been resolved, and based on other conversations with tenants, this does not appear to be isolated to one unit. I have even seen… cockroaches outside on the property, which raises concerns about how widespread the issue is.

Management’s approach has been to continue scheduling individual treatments rather than addressing it as a building-wide problem. At a certain point, that stops being a solution.

There are also safety concerns. Vehicles have been broken into multiple times, windows shattered and frequent randoms entering the property to browse rather than visiting tenants. It often feels like people wait for the gate to open to come inside and go through trash areas. There is a major homeless epidemic in our alleyways in near our fence lines.

Another ongoing issue is access to units. Maintenance frequently provides notice that they will be entering, but there is little flexibility to coordinate timing—especially difficult if you have pets. You’re often expected to remove your pet on their schedule, rather than being given reasonable options to plan around it.

The property advertises itself as pet-friendly, but in practice, there are significant limitations. Pets are not allowed to use on-site areas freely, which means you may need to leave the gated complex entirely for basic needs. For anyone with children, that creates an additional challenge.

There are also fees that don’t seem clearly justified. Trash costs are high (around $70/month), and it appears tenants may be absorbing increased costs during ongoing renovations as maintenance throws their construction scraps into residential dumpsters.

Amenities are also not as expected. The “clubhouse” is a couch in the leasing office, and the “dog park” is not been accessible for use.

I reached out to management to discuss options to leave due to the ongoing pest issue. I was told I would still need to pay an additional month’s rent and forfeit my deposit.

This has not been a luxury experience. If you are considering living here, I would strongly recommend doing your research and speaking to current tenants before signing a lease. Read More
