    Horrible experience

    The staff is unprofessional and provides in accurate information. They were overcharging us the whole year there that they had to give us $875 credit last month living there towards rent. Also been moved out for over 2 months going on 3, and still haven’t received security deposit. The towing company they use very unprofessional got in a fight with my brother and also kept purposely towing his car! Than my boyfriend car got towed and it ended up not starting after they towed it and they did nothing to help!
