Don’t live here

May 23, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com

I been living here for the past few months and it’s terrible. The property manager does a terrible job getting back in touch with residents. Someone was shot and killed across from my building. The heat is never on. My first day in my apartment things needed to be fixed. Please choose somewhere else to live. You also have to pay water, light, and gas with rent.
