    • It could be worse.

      March 19, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com
      No playground laundry room half omg the washers don’t work. Be grills with no propane or way to use them. Swimming pool always condemned. Most residents have either 2 or more large dogs or 3 or more small dogs where’s there constantly barking. There’s either cigarette smoke or weed smoke throughout the complex. The kids ride around the complex wreck less with no adult supervision. The roof leaks on both second or first floor and when they fix they make a large hole to “air out” for months before ...
      complexity fix it. Neighbors are loud, rude and inconsiderate. No one cleans up after their dogs when they take them around the inside of the complex on the rocks or sidewalks. You only have to wait around 4-10 days for a maintenance emergency. If all of this appeals to you welcome home. And don’t forget the woman’s jail down the street when they are released and wonder around the complex begging for a cigarette.

    • Quiet and Convienient

      September 13, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
      This apartment complex is safe, quiet and close to freeways and town. Chris, the apartment manager, is easy to talk to and always knowledgeable in answering tenant questions. There is a pool and brand new laundry facility on site. It is pet friendly which makes it always feel like home.
    • Nice place to call home

      August 14, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
      Family oriented complex, with a nice pool for the kids to cool off during hot summer days. Near shopping and wonderful array of dining establishments. Excellent schools, and pet friendly. I've lived here 7 years and very happy!
