  • Intrusive and Rude Management, Currently Has Flood Damage.

    September 3, 2024
    I lived there for about a year and every day out of that apartment is like a breath of fresh air. I’ve had multiple neighbors had multiple car break ins (including myself), and the apartment was semi-recently flooded. The amenities are poor. Management is passive aggressive and WILL text you, not email! Look elsewhere!

  • Not an ideal experience

    September 12, 2023
    Wanted to share my experience for any prospective renters at The Ellis. I had a 'bait and switch' experience where I was shown an empty unit twice. I paid the application fee, was approved right away and then didn't hear from the leasing contact for two days when she mentioned the unit was renewed by a prior tenant. This was disappointing and felt disingenuous and unprofessional. I wouldn't have applied if I knew the unit wasn't available. As you look at units, please be sure there isn't a bait ...
    and switch situation happening.

    It’s refreshing when you have a responsive and active office to address concerns. I moved in this month and so far everything has been smooth, easy, and transparent.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
