Review from Apartments.com
Watch out
October 5, 2017Make sure and get everything in writing... they do with a 35 page lease. They tried to go back on a 50% off my first month's deal after I moved, they entered my apartment illegally, tried to apply rent towards a $35 utility bill and charge me a late fee, lost my lease and tried to charge me for month to month. Highly unorganized, there's a revolving door of new managers and their corporate office clearly doesn't care.Property Manager Responded
January 11, 2019We are happy we were able to address your issues in the past and want to let you know we value as a resident.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
