Horrible place to live

August 17, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
This property is not a great place to live, the management on this property is very unprofessional. It has been sold and purchased several times and therefore the rules about things keep changing. they treat their tenants like trash and no one is on the same page. i would not recommend this property to anyone ever!

Garden at Southbay Renter

September 8, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
Wow what a view! After working a long day relax in our great pool or walk along the pond and feed the ducks. Your lovely home has three large bedrooms with two baths. The best part of your home is that every room has a walk-in closet, a large kitchen and living room. Stand on your private patio and watch the sunset or rise which ever you like. With a great office staff and maintenance crew you never want to leave home!
