March 4, 2026This place is a fine place to crash if you need a soft place to land after life falls apart, but I'm not satisfied at all with the quality of the admin. We are ignored, we can experience things like dead appliances and a pool closed the entire summer with no recourse, and management does not care about you at all.Property Manager Responded
March 16, 2026Every resident is important, and we are sincerely sorry that you have experienced a problem. We would love to schedule a meeting to document and address your issues and concerns. We look forward to hearing from you and working to resolve your issues. Your review is anonymous, so we need you to contact us. Also, our pool was open through the summer, so we would love to get in contact with any issues you are having!

February 24, 2026Overall living here is okay. The houses are very spacious and mostly clean. Our house does smell of cigarettes and the carpets were pretty dirty prior to moving in but other than that it’s been a good experience. Chelsea in the front office helped with all of my needs and I really appreciate her! The office staff for the most part and very nice and willing to help in anyway they can. Maintenance often come quickly and i’ve never had an issue with them. Overall, for cheap student housing this is ...the best option.Property Manager Responded
February 27, 2026Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the spacious layout, quick maintenance response times, and that Chelsea and the team have been helpful — we’ll be sure to pass along the kind words to her! We do apologize for the cigarette odor and the carpet condition you experienced at move-in. That’s certainly not the standard we aim for. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and are happy to hear that overall you’ve had a positive experience with us. Thank you for choosing to call our community home!

February 23, 2026The amenities in the apartments and the staff are all great, but the residents here can be quite noisy. I’ve heard someone revving their engine at least twice a week at night.Property Manager Responded
February 27, 2026Thank you so much for your feedback — we’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the amenities and our team! We’re sorry to hear about the noise concerns, especially late at night. We understand how frustrating that can be. Please don’t hesitate to report specific incidents to the office or contact our courtesy officer when it’s happening so we can address it in real time. The more details we have (time, location, description), the better we can respond. We truly want everyone to have a comfortable living experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

January 22, 2026The people I interacted with were exceptionally kind and welcoming, which significantly enhanced the overall experience. Their positive attitude and helpfulness created a pleasant atmosphere during my stay. This social aspect of the visit was genuinely five-star, and I have nothing but high praise for the individuals themselves. However, the apartment's physical presentation could have been substantially improved. While it was functional, it lacked the level of tidiness and polish that makes a ...space truly comfortable and inviting. A more thorough cleaning, better organization, and perhaps some minor touch-ups would make a considerable difference in future guest experiences. To fully match the warmth of the hosts, the apartment requires more attention to detail in its upkeep, elevating it from merely acceptable to truly presentable and enjoyable.Property Manager Responded
February 2, 2026Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team, and we’re especially glad to hear that the people you interacted with made a positive and welcoming impression. Creating a friendly, supportive atmosphere is very important to us, and it means a lot to know that came through during your visit. At the same time, we sincerely apologize that the apartment’s presentation did not meet the same high standard. Cleanliness, organization, and overall upkeep are essential to providing a comfortable and inviting living environment, and your comments highlight areas where we can improve. We take this feedback seriously and will be sharing it with our team to ensure greater attention to detail moving forward. Thank you again for helping us identify opportunities to better match the quality of our spaces with the warmth of our staff.
