      • Do Not Move Here !!!!

        July 12, 2024
        I’ve lived in this apartment for the past two years. When me & my husband first moved in they were on top of everything & since the company changed to willow bridge it’s been the absolute worse experience ever. They don’t keep up with cleaning the stair ways or keeping up the apartment complex as a whole. The residents are disgusting they would have there pets poop & pee in the elevator & leave it there. The parking is terrible half of the time the residents that actually live here can’t even get ...
        a parking spot because when other residents have guest over they are taking up space in the parking lot. On top of that they don’t have a tow truck come in to get rid of the cars or nothing they don’t do anything. Everything I was promised when I moved here went down hill once willow bridge company came into place. & the property managers keep getting changed as long as I’ve been here we’ve went through 2 property managers that were really great with keeping up with the complex and actually have a bond with the residents. Although the floor plans are nice & spacious it’s not what’s it cracked up to be. For all the money you pay for this trust me it’s not worth it at all they letting any and everybody in here and it truly shows because it’s in it’s beginning stages of becoming run down & over priced !!! Which is why me and my husband are MOVING OUT!!

        Had medical emergency and Valerie resident manager came and feed and gave water to my cat. Great staff. Always planning events for residents.

      • honestly, not worth it

        January 5, 2023
        When I moved in, the apartment was dirty—large cobwebs in the corners, grease in kitchen lights, dust and mildew collected on the bathroom vent and in the main bath toilet, not to mention the paint speckles all over the floor. There was a hole through my bedroom door, and my shower rod barely stayed up. It seemed like they were unprepared for my move in date. The only reason I live at this over-priced residence is because it’s supposed to be gated. While the gates are there, they haven’t ...
        worked since I moved in MONTHS ago. Do not waste your whole paycheck on rent for a subpar apartment.
        • Property Manager Responded

          January 9, 2023
          I'm so sorry to hear that your experience has been anything less than exceptional. This is definitely not typical for our team and I hope things have improved since your initial move in. If not, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team directly so we can work on a resolution. After a long wait, our new entrance gate was delivered and installed over the holidays and is now operational. Please let us know if you need any help operating it or letting your guests in. Best wishes. - The Reef at Winkler Management

        June 15, 2022
        We were very clear about what needed repaired and he repaired it according to what needed to be done. I do not have a good relationship with this current service/maintenance technician nor the Property Management Personnel because they do not assist me or our neighbors pleasantly with what we believe to be valid and timely concerns within our community. At this time, I "would not" recommend this apartment community for the price one pays to live here and due to the unkept promises, lack of ...
        communication and thus lack of professionalism.

        June 15, 2022
        When we originally moved in the grounds were kept very clean and there was several monthly community events that we could connect with our neighbors at. Also I enjoyed having a community wall through the active building app to discuss with other residents. Now it seems like they never pressure wash, never keep up the community, never have events, and there is no way to contact our neighbors if we need to.

        June 15, 2022
        The apartment community itself is great! The amenities and the cleanliness is very satisfactory. There are a few factors we don't like or we suggest to improve. 1. The odor from the water. It smells like full chlorine. When washing mouth or taking a bath, this doesn't seem sanitary. 2. The gates were left open the entire holiday. Understandable during specific dates, but on non-holiday dates, this should be more controlled. 3. The water playground area for the kids does not work, a ...
        disappointment for my kid. 4. The main road is very dangerous when wanting to take a left or go straight on Winkler Avenue. They should definitely suggest a Stop Sign or a traffic Light on this area. More so if there's a school area.
