Do not live here

November 9, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
0 stars Horrible neighbors and none existent management. Emergency calls are not answered and management continuously lies to the residents. Neighbors trash the complex and management cleans up about twice a year. There are four ongoing cases of domestic violence in the complex. A terrible place to live. 0 stars

Mold, cockroaches, faulty smoke detectors, faulty heaters, leaky gutters that keep me awake at nigh

November 9, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
How do I get out of an apartment that is uninhabitable? This place is literally making me sick. From the day I moved into my apartment, NOTHING has worked properly. The staff ignores tenants’ repair requests. There is no logical explanation for the fluctuating cost of utilities.?

DO NOT RENT HERE!

December 20, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
This building is absolutely horrendous! The apartments are filthy, flea, bug and cockroach infested. There is mold! There is zero security or access control! They do not fix any maintenance issues. I have been here for three weeks and have had the apartment fumigated twice, spent $700.00 on cleaning services. A small fortune on cleaning materials, bug sprays etc. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere! Read the other reviews!
