Everything’s fine besides some noise every now and again. The staff and maintenance are great and fast at resolving issues. They are good at upkeep with the complex and timely service. I have enjoyed my stay so far.

I am pleasantly pleased with the community so far, except for having to figure out how to get a snake out of my apartment without any assistance from the office. Also the grass needs to be maintained more often in order to keep pests away such as snakes. I do want to say I appreciate how fast my maintenance issues were resolved. The monthly cost including rent, water, Pest control, trash, and any other extras seems to vary from month to month.

I like living here it is quiet. The only problem I have is the trash dump is right in my front door and is not kept up properly. It is just not a good look.

I’m moved in to a apartment that wasn’t the one I picked. But also has not only a bug problem but the floors are covered in paint. The front window has mold the apartment has no a/c and I’m still being charged for it. The outlets in the living room don’t have power. The front office isn’t helpful. And at this point I just wanna get a lawyer!!!

Love my apartment, however I have had to endure neighbors bringing their portable Bluetooth subwoofers outside to blast their music and the marijuana smell getting into my apartment. It has got better since that first week but I still endure the loud music. I am slowly getting used to the payment system and trying to make sure my utilities are getting paid.
