    November 6, 2024
    Management is unreliable. You can hardly get ahold of them in times of need. I’ve yet to get any repairs in the few months i’ve been there. The only time they’ve willingly contacted me is when the topic is finances. This isn’t just this apartment, this lies with Pyramid Properties in GENERAL. Please make sure to thoroughly expect your new place before moving in. Breaking the lease with them will be a pain in the behind. Best of luck.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.
