      The new administration are wonderful. My household had an income adjustment due to my wife starting a new job and there were some hiccups during the transition, while the previous administration will have been processing an eviction notice by now, the new administration was patient and empathetic during this process, finally our finances were back on track and we were able to catch up...we appreciate you Ruth, Mary and Mrs. Hernandez...thank you.

      No accountability. No response. Lost property and packages. Lived here for 5 years before the new management and it has taken a cliffdive immediately with the new ownership. Do not recommend in any sense.

      We loved the previous company who were there for our stay for 2.5 of the 3 years! We were so sad to see the crew go. Hopefully we'll see the same kindness and less robotic responses from the new team :/

      Overall, great place to live with great amenities, the pipes banging all the time is rather annoying. The parking is great and the fob entry is great.

      I moved in 4 months ago and am still getting settled. But I am enjoying the environment. The maintenance crew is outstanding and the ladies in the office are great! My only complaint right now is the pigeons. I just put flowers and plants on my balcony and they seem to love them as much as I do! Shoo!

      Everything here is really good—we truly enjoy all the amenities provided. The clubhouse is our favorite spot; whenever we're stressed, playing pool with friends helps us relax a lot. I also really like the gym and use it often. However, the one challenge we face is having to walk to the bus stop, especially during the cold and windy winter months. Aside from that, I genuinely love living here and appreciate all that’s offered.

      Way over priced for what you get and this place got new management. They are struggling for sure.

      You can have a very comfortable stay. If you have any problems, they respond quickly. The managers are also very kind. I recommend living here.

      Good. Could have done better on appliances at this rent. Maintenance is good. Slightly overpriced. But so far it’s been a good experience in general.

      I moved in in June and have enjoyed the community and all amenities. Staff is very nice and helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new place to call home.

      I rarely ever hear noise, let alone anything that would be considered disruptive or bothersome. Very cool atmosphere, very nice people, and the accomodations are pretty rad. 10/10 would recommend.
