      November 18, 2022
      I’ve been at this property going on 3 years and I haven’t had any major issues. It doesn’t look the greatest when you pull in any lot, but the inside of the units are actually REALLY NICE!! My lot has been very quiet the past 3 years and my kids feel comfortable living here. I’m very happy in my apartment!

    • Renovated apartments, new management

      September 16, 2022
      The complex isn’t bad. It’s a bit run down as the old company did not take care of the place, but the current owners seem to be taking action and doing many remodels and fixes. There can even be maintenance crews seen daily. When we first moved in, there needed to be repairs, but they at least fixed it within 2-3 weeks and fixed a later emergency plumbing problem within a few hours. The units they have available now seem to all be newly renovated! Mine even has radiant ceiling heating, nice tiled ...
      floors, was newly painted, newer appliances, and has spacious closets. The only downside is the curb appeal. Some places look rundown, but I think this will change as the new management continues to renovate the complex

    • Applicant Beware!

      June 23, 2022
      I applied here in August 2021. Never heard anything. I tried calling, texting the automated service they have, emailing, and leaving many messages. Nothing. *10 months later* I finally get someone on the phone, only for her to claim to not be able to do anything because she wasn’t working here back in August. Of course their fees are non refundable. Of course there is no one else I can talk to except her. Because why take care of a person who had to basically stalk the phone lines to even check ...
      what happened? To sum this up, only apply if your requirements for an apartment are getting your money taken and zero communication! Customer service can go a long way, and this place doesn’t have it. The property manager should consider a new career path.

      June 10, 2022
      Just the other day I stopped in to inquire about a 1 bedroom 1 bath. I was helped by Christina, Briana and Andrea, they did an amazing job explaining everything to me and answering all my questions I had. 10/10 Service

    • Ridiculous

      February 12, 2021
      I could never imagine renting from a place with so many dog breed restrictions. Get with the times, its not the breed, it's the dog itself and how it was raised. I have owned Danes and Malamutes and never had one be mean or destructive. That being said I would recommend managing it as a case by case situation. Meet the dog moving in instead of assuming the worst of every breed. That's insane.
