    • Terrible apartment and a sketchy part of town

      November 27, 2022
      This place is overpriced and terrible in quality. The unit I stayed in was moldy, with broken appliances and a bad water system. They shut water off at random times and never gave notice. Homeless people would gather near the parking lot and management did not handle any situation properly. Would not recommend to anyone.
      Review from Apartments.com
    • I’m gonna recommend you pass this one up

      May 5, 2022
      The place was full of mold, adjourned with leaky ceilings that weren’t apparent at the time of move in (spoiler: they painted over it). This place is bottom of the barrel, located in a horrible spot, with horrendous parking.

    • Mold and flooding

      September 7, 2021
      Stayed here less than 3 months and there was a flood from upstairs that flooded our entire apartment downstairs, including the neighbors. Its developed mold and they have not done anything to clean it for us. We’re stuck in a contract but definitely will be moving soon. Cheap is not always better.
