      • This building has gone downhill

        December 12, 2022
        This was a wonderful, luxury community. Now it is going downhill fast. Key property personnel have left and aren't replaced. The cost savings are hitting hard - no holiday decorations. And worse yet, we are now one of 3 commercial buildings owned by DE so we have constant alarms to evacuate from adjacent buildings, the parking garage pranks, etc. Do you want to evacuate your building on a regular basis? No reliable people to address issues? Valet staff cut to save money so longer waits. ...
        Avoid this once wonderful building.

      The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
