Unsecure, Unsafe, Broken Elevators

You must consider this apartment complex a WALK-UP at any given time because the elevators are Constantly Broken, I got stuck in an elevator once for about 45min and had to call 911 because their call button was disabled. There was a literal shooting on the first floor here in April, their entrances are always unlocked, anybody can walk in and packages go missing constantly. They also promised many amenities like the outdoor patio and hot tub which have never become available to us. They will be... doing construction on the bottom floors for the next 12 months so it will be loud to live here! They also tried to upcharge my lease by over $200/mo just to continue living here next year with no reasoning. Parking is extra and you pay all utilities yourself so you need to add about $200/mo to the rent to accommodate that.

Worst place to live downtown hands down

Spend the extra money and go to the nicer complexes. This place is absolute garbage in my opinion . Dirty. Stinky. No secure entrance or exit. Shootings. Homeless ppl. Stolen packages. No management available ever. Loads of extra charges every month. Stolen cars. Bar fights. Leaking pipes. No AC. Rat and bug infested. No timely maintence. Elevators are always broken. I could keep going….

WORST PLACE TO LIVE

This place is so unsafe. The shooting last week is to showcase how bad it is. Cops get call all the time. Management is rude/condescending. They only care about getting the money but they break contract all the time by not keeping anyone safe. There is no lock between the outside and your apartment not one. You apartment lock if you wiggle the door hard enough it opens. Black mold all over the complex. Homeless people sleep in the stairs. Bikes/cars/packages get stolen all the time. Water heater... barely works. Elevators NEVER work. Exposed wiring, water leaks in when it rains. HORRIBLE PLACE.

Poor management

They charge way you much. Elevators break constantly, broken secure entry after 1 shooting downtown and one at right outside the apartment building. Save your money go some where else.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SUCKS

the list is too long to name, they don’t follow up on maintenance requests or emergency requests which is crazy. You’d think if a wash is leaking a lot of water they would want to fix it ASAP. We’ve been waiting 3 days now and counting. Our dishwasher took 2 months to fix and our shower has peeled up 2 times already and is now on its third time. We have found tons of mold in the bathroom sink/showers, as I said the list goes on and on so please think twice before signing a lease.
