Pointwest has everything I need. The apartments are spacious and amenities are great. We are close to all types of shopping and medical buildings. The grounds are very beautiful and the staff and maintenance personnel are super nice and helpful.

I put in the order around 1:30pm, and I received an email from the office when the job got done. It wasnt even two hours after I submitted the order. I checked on it When I got home from work, and it was all clean and well put together. Great job, Pointe West! This isnt the first time we submit a work order, and youve never disappointed. Always show up quickly, and it gets done with excellence.

It is a good place for your home. Dont like the five dollar management fee put onto our rent. Or the utilities and so on. Why dont you just put an extra charge onto our rent so we wouldnt know every month what we owed. You dont need another company to figure this out.

The amenities at PointeWest apartments are nice but if the time frame to use them are not considered long enough for people to work hard everyday then you probably wont have the chance to use anything and probably would not worth it the price you pay to live in here. Looks like this is a place to retired people to live, no young or active people around.
