    The new staff has been great and much more helpful, but the condition of the apartments leaves a lot to be desired. There have been ongoing maintenance issues, and some problems have taken longer than expected to resolve. The staff deserves credit for their efforts, but the property itself needs significant improvement.

    The community is clean and nice. However, activities and events are held during the day during class or work. Sometimes the front office does not give appropriate notice for entering the apartment, most of the time they do though.

      Hello, We have more events coming soon that cater to later of the day. We do apologize if you experienced an unannounced visit, we must notify all residents within 24 hours and knock 3 times before entering. Maurice Watson Property Manager

    Too much towing and the fact that you can only get a limited amount of passes for guest is ridiculous and you pay rent here and there is always something wrong with the gate
    • Property Manager Responded

      June 2, 2026
      Hello, Guest parking passes are limited to help prevent misuse and ensure compliance with community policies regarding guest stays and parking availability. We sincerely apologize that your experience has not met expectations. Since the new management team has come onsite, we have been actively working to improve the community, with the gate being one of our top priorities. While the gate has been serviced multiple times, ongoing damage caused by vehicles striking the gate has continued to create challenges. We appreciate your feedback and value the opportunity to improve our community. Best Regards, Maurice Watson Property Manager

    It's a very good community, quite close to the USC stadium and not located in a noisy or too busy area. Maintenance response time is also very convenient
