Renters Reviews and Ratings
worst place to live save this really bad experience and they erase your bad grades
April 2, 2021I would never return to this place they rented me an apartment full of insects I kept the photos I asked them to return my money and they would compensate me with my moving expenses, terrible treatment of the manager never solved me and I only returned very little of everything that I I paid them and they gave me an apartment infested with insectsReview from Apartments.com
Nice, but pricey
January 19, 2016Nice units, good layout, grounds are well-maintained. In-suite laundry really convenient. Assigned parking, but if you need extra it can be hard to find a spot sometimes. Kitchen could use an upgrade - cabinets and counter-tops are showing their age. I'd still say it's pricey for what you get, though, and rent has increased significantly each year for the past 3 years.Review from Apartments.com
