Everyone is real friendly. Staff is professional and courteous. The property is very clean and well maintained. Personally, I love the ease of the laundry room (all from an app on your phone).

Not worth the headache!

There are countless issues with these apartments. Constant water issues. You won't have hot water for days, sometimes you have no water at all, do to the constant water shut offs. Homeless people everywhere. Your car is not safe here, neither from break-ins nor from the predatory people they have patrolling the apartments. They can boot your vehicle at whim and you have no recourse of action. Either pay the fee or get towed. They act like they own the place and the apartment manager lets them... because they get a kickback from the fees. The buildings are falling apart, it feels like you are going to fall through the floor. Even my tiny little self feels like I'm going to crash into the apartment below me. The maintenance is terrible, nothing gets fixed. Do yourself a favor and live under a bridge, you will have better amenities and service than you will get here.
