Poor Management
February 19, 2020The management is rude and unprofessional. I had a call with George about possibly leasing a unit and throughout the call, he kept cutting me off while he went on rambling about unrelated topics. In the end, he did not even take my contact information and decided to hang up on me for no reason.Property Manager Responded

Our team will continue to work diligently to ensure that we provide exemplary customer service. When you get a moment, please contact us at 831-427-1290 and ask to speak to our community manager.
