Good luck talking to a human.
This may get deleted since I haven’t lived here...but that’s not for lack of trying. I called and left voicemails five times over a span of a few weeks trying to get rental info and to set up a tour for a family member who qualifies to live there. I got a message back once, returned it quickly the same day and never heard from them again, despite politely asking to be contacted even if nothing was available, to let us know to keep looking. If you call the number it goes straight to an automated… message. No human has ever picked up, and apparently they don’t return the messages they do get. Makes me very concerned if you did live there, that management’s “responsiveness “ would be similarly poor.
