Horrible
January 8, 2025INFESTED!! Last few months here but have been here around 8 years old management was awesome now below poor. This place is old with roaches in the walls so they come out the vents in the bathroom, kitchen cabinets roach poop on the dishwasher, electrical sockets and you never know what rent is they say one price and I’ve never paid the same thing twice water leaks $200 water bill for an apartment a month come on guys!! Never have written a review but this was necessary you’ll see if you decide to ...move here. I think I’ll have my job do a story on this place for the news it’s timeProperty Manager Responded
