  • Wouldn’t.

    August 3, 2025
    I have not enjoyed my time here so far, with it being a new apartment complex there is a decent amount of issues. From maintenance issues to the WiFi being inconsistent. The WiFi is bulk WiFi which cost more than fiber and is not consistent. Parking so far seems to be the biggest issue. There are no spots. Not really sure what the plan was as there are less than 50 spots total and the first floor has 51 rooms!
