Terrible Management

August 6, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
AC has been out for 2 months. Washing machines out for the same amount of time at least. No dishwasher even though it's specified on the lease. Renovations done extremely poorly. Management will tell you something will be fixed, but it won't. As far as I know there's only one maintenance guy for the entire complex and he has a habit of marking maintenance requests completed when they aren't.

Warning poor management

May 18, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Poor management and maintenence here been living here for 1month and my AC wasn't working I told the office till this day the inside of my unit is 84° I would not advise anyone to move here also the office told me that its been other tenants living here for a year without AC and they clearly are proud of that
