good location but many roaches
April 12, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
The building engineer is great. The management company is okay. This building has too many roaches that can't ever get rid of. It’s terrible.

Horrible
April 6, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
Do NOT rent these apartments!!! I never leave reviews, but I have to for this place as I dont want anyone to get scammed.
First of all, I moved into a dirty apartment that no one dared to clean. Stains everywhere, I cannot even explain how nasty the place was. On top of that, cockroaches EVERYWHERE.
Management does NOT care. Packages get stolen all the time. Neighbors are loud at 3am. I had complained so many time for so many different things. No one even replies to your email, or even if they ...
do, it's weeks later. I can go on forever, but the point is- do not rent here!!!!
