Renters Reviews and Ratings
Great building, very bad location
May 6, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
The building and units are in great shape but it's not in a safe area. You can't walk around the area, especially at night. Also, across the street, there's a construction company that fills trucks as early as 5 or 6 am, sometimes on weekends, and it sends so much dust into the air, you can see it blowing in your windows if they're open.
Great price for the size and location!
February 17, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
I quite liked the Cara and felt the apartments were spacious and comfortable compared to living in a ridiculously over priced studio in the city. I never had any issues with maintenance requests or being serviced within 24 hours. There is a nice gym and common area room on the first floor, secure parking and a rooftop lounge/bar top style area with fire pits and I enjoyed using the common areas quite often. I never had a problem with noise unless I had my windows open. It's a block away from ...
South Bay. Pretty decent location I would say.

May 6, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
Poorly built and poorly managed. The garage door has been broken since they opened. The doors don’t close so any meth head can walk in off the street. The walls are paper thin you can hear a person sneeze next door. You can listen to an entire conversation that someone is having in their apartment from the hallway. Stuff isn’t up to code even though it was built less than a year ago. There is no management no one responds to maintenance requests. Good luck if you have an emergency on the ...
weekend you definitely won’t get a response until late Monday if at all.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
