Very OLD building

April 12, 2019 - Review from Apartments.com

These apartments are very old and dirty. Full of bags and mold, no air conditional, old furniture with falling a part kitchen. Also the parking lot is all the time full, old carpet falling a part. The windows do not work properly. The only positive thing about this is they are close to interstate.

Nice large apartments

January 12, 2018 - Review from Apartments.com

Love these apartments, they are nice and big! Also love that they are close to the interstate!
