I would not recommend living here, but I am going to keep my review of this place as objective as possible to give future tenants a realistic idea of what living here will be like in case this is the best option:
We moved in at the end of August to a renovated 2 bedroom apartment. The renovated kitchen was very nice and functional, with a lot of storage and counter space. The stainless steel appliances were very nice and seemed to be rather new. As for the rest of the renovations, the carpet
...was not nearly as soft as what was shown on the tour; it felt rough and was very dirty upon move-in, so seemingly not new as advertised. The whole apartment, actually, required a thorough deep clean, and despite using an air purifier and smoke deodorizers , it constantly smelled like musty old cigarette smoke.
The people that live in this complex are not very friendly; nobody says hello to one another, nor are they very considerate of noise. The buildings are very old, and we could hear every noise our upstairs neighbors made. While noise is understandable in every apartment living situation, the noise in our unit was objectively LOUD. Footsteps and wrestling rattled picture frames on the wall. Overall, this is not a friendly, peaceful community and I would not recommend this place for those who are sound-sensitive, or have newborns or sound-reactive dogs.
We did not have any problems with bugs or rodents, despite living on the first floor, however if we had stayed any longer I’m sure we would have. Cracks and fissures started to form in the paint and around the baseboards/load-bearing beams (which honestly makes me question the structural integrity of these aging buildings…). The dumpster was not regularly emptied. I’m not sure if this had anything to do with the literal dumpster fire which occurred on New Years Eve, but at one point trash was not removed for nearly two weeks.
The employees at the leasing office were somewhat helpful, but they could have done more. We made several noise complaints, and some employees were more helpful than others. Big shout out to Jes, the assistant property manager, for being responsive to emails.
One positive aspect of living here was maintenance: they were great, and very responsive! Our AC unit broke and needed to be replaced during one of the heatwaves this past summer. Maintenance was out the same day and installed window units. We also had a clogged drain, and they responded promptly.
