    November 13, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
    The place is infested with roaches and mice, it's a flip of a coin on whether there is hot water or not, and the urgent maintence line is just a voicemail inbox that doesn't seem to get checked. They are far more concerned with fixing up the outside appearance than giving their residents a home that could qualify as livable.

    The Life is the worst apartment complex I have ever lived in! They are basically lying on the new website. There is a picture of a lady with a champagne glass, it looks all nice but that is not the reality of living there. The pool doesn't look like that in real life, I didn't know there was a gym or laundry room. How come the trash compacter soiled with trash wasn't on the website? It has been two miserable years I have lived there. They target the poor people to live there so they can be ...
    "Stuck"! I wish I had the means to move out of that dump!
