I have been living in this community from 2015 until now except 1 year in the middle. My experience varies by time and clearly and steadily going down from 5 stars
From 2015 to 2018 it was very very good with absolutely 0 complaints and things started going bad from 2019. I m moving out in next couple of months. I m on month on month now.
I want to update this review and keep it real time, so that if i write something after I move out it may sound like the review is completely based on moved out
...experience
Good things to note
Decent and Calm community. Lot of parking at some part of building but not all. Tennis courts, pools and club house are good. Decent spacious apartment with justified pricing. Very spacious living area better than almost all the apartments in the surrounding. Just under a mile and one light away from 285, convenient no traffic access. Gates are working most of the time. No safety incidents happened
Things to Worry
Closets, Bath and Kitchen are small. Classic units has age old appliances. Since its old building it does comes with lot of minor issues and you have to call maintenance more than you think. Maintenance is hit or miss. You may get it resolved or sometime you have to wonder when it will be done. In my case the 2nd bath in the unit had muddy water issues and hot cold knob was not working and it took 6 months to completely resolve. Maintenance guys are good the problem is the fact age of the buildings and much of the parts they need are not available and they have to order and wait. This is during pandemic days so you cannot throw them under blame completely. Communications with leasing office are not convenient or responsive at least in my case I felt rude. I felt bad to communicate with staffs than maintenance issues in my home. I had to call multiple times, create tickets online and a couple of strong emails obviously didn't get any response - but sent repair team. Again this was not the case before 2019. Since old buildings utilities may be on higher end. I live in vaulted ceiling unit and that definitely pick my pocket.
Another annoying thing is they tend to have lower market rent for new move ins but existing people has to pay a couple of hundred more during renewal for the same unit which is obviously not the case in any apartments at least to my knowledge
I will update my experience here post my move out by May. I hope it will not become another bad experience let see.
