Renters Reviews and Ratings
HIGH RENT FOR SUBPAR PROPERTY
August 2, 2025Property was developed in a nature that shows money grab. Garages are available for apartment tenants, but not enough for all units. Cheap materials were used in construction, basic appliances installed into the units. Landscaping is terrible. Standing water in grassy areas, parking is limited. Disabled vehicles take up parking spaces. With the high rent, I’m expecting high quality units and common spaces. The quality of the gym and pool area is below what it should be, especially when rent is ...this high. This property should have been all apartments or all townhomes, not both. Here’s to hope new property management can turn this property around.Property Manager Responded
August 12, 2025We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our property's condition and amenities. Your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement, such as the landscaping issue you mentioned and providing more equal distribution of parking spaces. While we strive to offer quality accommodations at a competitive price, it appears we didn't meet your expectations. We are dedicated to making changes that improve our residents' experiences. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as it will help us enhance future resident experiences.

Review from Apartments.com
Lots of Problems
August 21, 2022When I first moved in I was promised many different things as amenities. None of those have been completed in 4 months. My AC has stopped working 4 times and this last time it stopped working, it has yet to be fixed and it's been a month, at some times it was almost 82 degrees. The apartment was dented and lots of things were in bad shape when I moved in. It was a new build when I moved in. The apartment manager does not care.Property Manager Responded
October 4, 2022Hello – We’re very sorry to hear your displeasure. We have passed this message along to our on-site staff. Please let them know or reach out to us if you would like to discuss your concerns further. Have a great rest of your day!
