Renters Reviews and Ratings
Unsafe and poor management
February 6, 2016 - Review from Apartments.com
I once saw homeless people sleeping in the stair way. The call box has been broken for years and the laundry broke almost every month. The staff is indifferent and rude about those issues. And the rent goes up by more than 10% every year, totally unworthy.
