    Maintenance has been amazing and getting better the longer we've been here. As an older tenant i still like communicating with a person so I don't think the AI associate is accommodating. I like the personal communication.

    Not a fan of AI “Shari” has sent very disturbing messages that I haven’t paid my rent. Being a person a bit paranoid about making SURE bills are paid, these messages a VERY disturbing, especially when they come during w/e and there is not a HUMAN to speak to. It would be nice to have someone in the office on Saturday or have earlier/later office hours- office hours are exactly most people work ours. The office HAS been very accommodating in helping with some things when I haven’t been able to ...
    be here in person. Much appreciated!! I LOVE the floor plan & space of my apartment & I tell everyone that!

    The maintenance staff is wonderful. They have an automated system to answer the phone which I do not like. It is a virtual assistant. The grounds are well maintained. They call it luxury living but it is really just an average apartment on the nicer side. Floors have lots of scratches from previous tenants. Kitchen appliances are often ding when you get them and the ceramic floors can be chipped. The room and the apartments is very nice they're large the fireplace works great. Elevators are nice. ...

    Other than the WiFi reliability being poor in my experience. This is a very clean place with nice people and very responsive workers and maintenance! Lawns could use some landscaping and birds like to nest inside of dryer ducts. It would be nice if the doors in the hallways wouldn’t slam so hard as people are always coming in and out in the middle of the night and that door slams right next to my apartment waking me a lot.
