June 11, 2025So far, I've enjoyed the area but the apartment had several major problems upon moving in. AC unit doesn't work, and the first window unit I was brought didn't work either so I haven't been able to live here yet. I am genuinely excited about this place, but it's been a little bit rough. Hoping that my unit gets serviced tomorrow!Review from Apartments.com

May 23, 2025The price is right and being by the lake is nice, but the buildings are old and lacking upgrades, parking is sometimes hard, and there have been a couple of crime incidents in the neighborhoodProperty Manager Responded

May 19, 2025It's a nice place to live. I have been here for 3 years now. I did have issues with maintenance, but now that the new company has taken over, things have been improving. I wish that there were more things for kids instead of pets.Property Manager Responded

May 19, 2025The community is quite nice. We've been here 5 years and have seen residents come and go. The location is very convenient shopping, getting to work quickly, and the amenities are very nice and enjoyable. The fact that we have google fiber is definitely a major plus to our convenience. The staff of our community is very nice and respectful to our living spaces and communications. They also answer very promptly. The only reason for the 4 stars is the fact that we are still living with pests. They ...were here before the name change and we have tried fixing the issue ourselves. We are hoping this issue gets resolved soon and our rating will change to 5 stars. Other then the pests, we have been very happy with the apartment and the community.Property Manager Responded
