    The first 7 months or so were fine. It was pretty quiet and very clean. I didn't have any complaints. When rent increased by hundreds of dollars a month, many people moved out and new families moved in. Now, I have neighbors that I can hear screaming at each other through the walls, and also, ROACHES. They say pest control comes every Monday, but clearly their methods don't work. I've brought this up several times with management, and at first they seemed concerned, but now they brush it off. I'm ...
    very uncomfortable in this apartment now, and can't wait to move out. Wouldn't recommend moving here--go elsewhere.

    I love my apartment complex and management. The apartments are very nice and roomy. The grounds are nice as well. I love how fast the maintenance staff is whenever I need anything . The only thing I would change is how expensive they are.
