Horrible
August 25, 2024Horrible staff and apartment. It is loud, dangerous and the staff are unresponsive to real issues in the apartment for tenants.Review from Apartments.com
Unsafe building, horrible management team
February 23, 2023Extremely unsafe building. Several thousand dollars of stuff was stolen from my storage unit which was broken into. Several people have had their car windows smashed. Many shady people show up to the apartment and creep out the residents. Things are always breaking down - apartment fixtures, the elevator (which was down for 2 months straight). Management does not care and does not respond to resident safety concerns. I don’t recommend living here.Review from Apartments.com
