This place has gone to crap! Kids always outside playing hitting people’s cars. Noisy neighbors. The security and and management sucks.

Manager has her favorites

July 29, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com
These apartments are well cared for but the management is very unprofessional and unorganized all they do is blame everyone else for everything that they don't what is it called "passin the buck" All they do is lie, and make you call the owner who isn't really the owner. But they're quick to charge you and take your money, fees for everything repairs slow to come. Why me
