Low Quality

These apartments are low quality, and not worth the rent in my opinion.

Pool still has not opened…it’s the middle of the summer, and hot. Asked to be compensated for the inconvenience, and I have received nothing. There is a lot of noise between the groundskeepers early in the morning, and peoples dogs barking late at night. I don’t know who is louder. I’ve seen roaches, but it’s not as bad as Ive seen other places…I will be requesting pest control. My power cut off on me twice last week out of nowhere while it was 90 plus degrees outside. My key badge to the gate ...
suddenly had stopped working, and I had to go to the office and wait a few days for them to get that right. The gate has also been broken multiple times since I moved in…giving anyone access to the community. For the amount of rent people are paying here I feel like these are issues that should not be going on.

Overpriced, Filthy and noisy
June 11, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
Once again I am leaving a review about how dirty the grounds, breezeways, and building are. This place is a real dump and the property manager refuses to address these issues. It’s noisy because people blast trap music in their car late at night and tenants regularly drop eaten fast food bags, cups and sometimes the food on the ground. I’ve sent several pictures and emails for months. They don’t care. Don’t move here pay more and get something cleaner safer and more quiet.

It has been a joy living in this apartment. I'm new to the Atlanta area, so experiencing a wonderful, friendly atmosphere was very helpful to me. Safety was the number one concern as a female. And number two was amenities. I received both with the gate community feature and having a washer and dryer inside the apartment. I would recommend this complex to friends.

Loud music, dirty grounds, keep driving by
October 31, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Don’t move here. I’ve had issues since the day I moved in. You will never hear from management about any of your concerns. The grounds are dirty , unkept and on any day there will be a nasty mattress left in the front the complex. It is also very noisy, so if you sleep like a brick and don’t mind dirty grounds throw your money away here.
