    First off I’m really not the person to ever write a bad review, but this place TRULY deserves a bad review. To the initial move in of being sold something not true by a former employee “Lima” and was told she was fired due to promising things, being told we can cancel our move in with a legit U-Haul parked in front because of us pointing out things Lima promised and they didn’t care. To the COUNTLESS times across the past year it’s taken me 10,20,30 times SERIOUSLY to even get them on the phone. ...
    To having a real bad roach problem and the pest control not caring AT ALL saying it is what it is so we had to fix it ourselves with front office not caring at all. Maintenance takes so so long to get things done, they tell you what you wanna hear to get you off the phone and never do what there saying there gonna do, you have to stay on them like children. The front gate was down forever for it to come back up for legit a week and half and it’s down again never works, pools always either dirty or shut down. There was so many hidden fees we didn’t know about until we were there signing for our lease on move in day and basically being bullied into it, We truly came in with great intentions and now we are SO HAPPY we are moving out tomorrow, This place ABSOLUTELY SUCKS and I thank god I don’t ever have to deal with these people again. Move somewhere better. This place is a 0/5 if I could press that. I’ve been waiting to write this review for MONTHS. Also think mold is growing. So trash

  • RUN FAR AWAY

    May 1, 2025
    You pay so much for SO LITTLE. Staff is incompetent and responds to you like they’re bots with the same answers constantly. You can pay $35 for a reserved parking stall and then other people always park in and nothing gets done about it. They tell you to contact a courtesy patrol but out of the million times we’ve tried to call, we get no response back. So I’m sure it doesn’t exist. Was harassed by a neighbor after countless noise complaints on them and office staff didn't do anything, they just ...
    tell you to call the police. Trashy place, definitely move on and look elsewhere. I know it’s cheaper than a lot of places, but don’t live here!!! Trust me. There are a couple other places that are way nice and a couple hundred dollars cheaper. Tons of empty units because everyone is constantly moving out. Things break constantly. Paint on walls is so crappy if you try to wipe it then paint comes off and you’ll have to buy the paint to fix anything before you move out or you’ll be charged. It’s dark and feels like a cave. Pools are constantly closed. I could go on and on and on. And I know I’ll get some stupid robot responding to this telling me to contact them and they would love to discuss all this with me, but that’s not real either. So spare me!

  • Very strict community and slow to fix your apartment

    September 3, 2024
    Very strict community, but the office staff is very nice. Maintenance will come fast in an emergency but I’ve been waiting now 33 days to get my running toilet fixed and a light changed. I have to call to get things done. I finally asked them to just give me the parts so I can fix things my self.

  • Old and overpriced

    August 17, 2024
    Floors are very weak, that alone is enough to drive anyone crazy, always check the year an apartment was built before renting

  • Beware!

    May 23, 2023
    We moved to The Retreat not so long ago, leasing experience was very good but once we moved to our unit problems started, they are few things that needs to be checked around and maintenance doesn’t seem to have a sense of urgency. We tried reaching out and everything delayed or no response sometimes. Maintenance Manager doesn’t seem to care or the Property Manager.If you can find something else, there are better options. Very disappointed with our experience so far.

  • please stay away.

    October 24, 2022
    We rented an apartment in building 9. It was roach and mold infested. During our stay I got extremely ill and had to quit my job. At the time we had no idea there was mold until we deep cleaned before move out. I am convinced that my illness was because of that. Maintenance is very kind and will try their best. The offices could careless about your stay and if pest comes. We had to call several times a week to request pest control and get on the list for the next week. I was so thankful to move ...
    out and into a different apartment complex. This place is in a safe area of town but not worth the little money you save if you go to a newer apartment. I promise it’s worth staying away from.

  • Eager to help!

    October 6, 2021
    I have been searching for a new rental, and found this listing. After contacting the leasing office by phone and by sending an e-mail request, I was able to speak to 2 (two) different agents within 45 minutes of each other. Both agents were extremely polite and friendly, and were very excited to give me ALL the info I wanted. In the end, I decided on a different property (price). But, the eagerness to help a potential tenant was incredible. I wish more companies would be as energetic and ...
    responsive as this group.

  • Roaches and Apathy

    October 17, 2020
    Do not rent apartment 11! They allowed us to move into a roach infested apartment, the exterminator told us that there has been a roach problem with that apartment for months because the apartment next to it is disgusting. After two months of dealing with them "taking care of" the problem they finally agreed to get us a different apartment when we pack up our lives and try to move into the new one the keys don't work. When we ask the girl working the office on a Saturday to give us thr right ...
    keys she says that only maintenance can handle that. We asked to speak with the property manager Whitney instead of the weekend girl and were told that she can't be bothered until Monday, she runs a complex with hundreds of apartments and can't be bothered to deal with problems on the weekend. I get apartment living comes with some negative aspects and accept that but the complete apathy from this complex is staggering. They have no problem letting you move into a roach infested apartment and take zero responsibility for it afterward.
