February 5, 2026Been pretty chill so far; however, I have asked to have someone clean the alcove because residents have been throwing trash out their windows, and no one has replied back to me.Review from Apartments.com

August 2, 2025roach galore - on my bed, in my sink, on my ceiling. Whole building issue. I told them about this multiple times and they brought pest control and then stopped for a couple of months and then the roach problem got worse. Pest control has skipped my room despite me asking. They don't care about you. The whole building needs to get fumigated. Disgusting bathroom and kitchen conditions. Always a foul smell in the hallways and kitchen. The onsite staff are friendly, but the building condition is so ...run down you can 100% find a better place at the same price.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com

April 3, 2025The main thing I wish someone would have told me is that there are roaches here before I signed my lease, now I have to shake out my shoes and clothing before put them on. I’m scared to have people over I’m terrified that I’m gonna leave the house one day and there will be a roach on my clothingReview from Apartments.com

Cockroaches and Unhygenic Bathrooms
January 28, 2025There has been a significant decrease in quality since I started renting here three years ago. Bathroom cleaning is now weekly, not daily as it used to be, leading to clogged toilets for days at a time, and dirty floors and showers, and the building has become infested with cockroaches, with little action taken on behalf of management. I would not rent here again and will be ending my lease here at the end of this year.Review from Apartments.com

October 24, 2024No internet in room, some residents do not clean up after their mess in the bathroom and kitchen, elevator needs repainting, sink in my room has not been unclogged since I moved in 3 days ago (I have to line up in the long queue), but the staff are friendlyReview from Apartments.com
