    • DO NOT RENT!!

      May 22, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
      These are fhe worst management and worst property!!!!! The apartments are NOT soundproof. It's like living on the street!!! That's why the rent is cheap!!! My child can not sleep. The ac unit is also in the BEDROOM next to where the bed is supposed to be!!!!! The heater is also in the CLOSET, fhe very tiny closet where in the bedroom where her clothes are supposed to be stored. ANSOLUTE WORST PLACE EVER!!!! I wish I had checked it myself. I live in another state. I'm going to report this property ...
