Social Events Over Livelihood
February 12, 2024They care more about social events than maintenance of the property. Why would I want to hang out with the same staff that overlooks promises made during lease signing?Review from Apartments.com
New management
January 18, 2023My process of applying and being accepted for move in date was streamlined perfectly. New management has been very helpful and understanding.Review from Apartments.com
ROACH INFESTED
July 29, 2022Great location and units are ok if you can ignore the fact that there are endless roaches in the hallways and units. It’s disgusting and unbearable I’ve been here for a little over a year and I can’t wait to get out no one wants to come home wondering how many creepy crawlers will pop out. Management does nothing about the matter definitely not ok.Review from Apartments.com
Awful management
July 29, 2021I’ve called everyday for two weeks and left so many voicemails and emails at this place and Have heard NOTHING. Ugh.Review from Apartments.com
Roaches
July 3, 2021this apartment complex suck . roaches everywhere . management dont answer or return callsReview from Apartments.com
Roaches and filth!!!
May 31, 2021I currently reside at this dump. Pictures DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL APARTMENTS! Management won’t respond to messages, workers let themselves into your apartment without notice. Broke down cars everywhere. Loud music from cars 24/7. Zero stars, would not recommend.Review from Apartments.com
Cockroaches
September 14, 2020Don’t live where cockroaches live. Cockroaches cockroaches cockroachesReview from Apartments.com
Roach party
February 2, 2020There were so many roaches and all kinds of giant bugs inside even though we payed for pest control. They never fixed anything. We didn’t have a oven nob for the whole 6 months that we painfully lived there. At one point there was blood on the walls and the pool was closed almost all summer. Never again will I ever go back or recommend this place.Review from Apartments.com
Roaches own the place!
January 5, 2020Plumbing sucks and the place is filled with roaches. I had toilet water coming up from my bathtub drain. I knew it was toilet water because pieces of tissue was coming up with the water. I didn’t trust drinking or cooking with the water. It smelled really weird and I’m almost positive it led contaminated. Why would you even rent that place out like that? Would you live like that? Those apartments should be torn down. I was killing roaches and spiders everyday. My bathroom didn’t have any ...outlets. TEAR THAT PLACE DOWN!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
I was roped into a 15 month lease for cheaper, regretted it.
January 2, 2020I was roped into a 15 month lease for cheaper, regretted it. I experienced the following: roaches (a lot), improper lint disposal (water box), AC broke dozen times, carpet lining is awful (easy peeling), sidewalks flooded. I cannot speak for the new management, but the prior management hired very poor contractors for their 'newly renovated' apartments. This place was the worst place I've ever lived and I am happy that I've escaped. While there was a 'new' management afterwards, they did not ...improve much within the last 3-4 months of living there.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
