DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!
January 12, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
There are no cameras. The management is awful. They act like they are so nice but they are rude and liars. Good luck moving out because they will charge you for dumb stuff like cleaning the mirrors. we cleaned the apartment spotless when we move out they charged up 500$ and the fees are so stupid.
Property Manager Responded
February 1, 2024
We try our best to prepare residents for potential fees in advance of moving out. Ultimately, additional charges are dependent upon the condition of various spaces/ items in your home which are more readily identified after move out. If you feel as though you were unfairly charged, please give us a call to discuss in greater detail. We thank you for your residency.
False advertising
September 6, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
Need cameras installed, the same apartment building has been shot up multiple times. Pay pest control fees, yet pest are still present. Paying luxury prices for an apartment with popcorn ceilings be forreal.

Lack of communication and action.
August 29, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
The leasing office and maintenance men lack the motivation and work ethic to properly run the property and keep everything in good, working shape. Nothing is ever fixed or done, and you spend a decent chunk of money for somewhere to stay but everything breaks so it’s not worth the money at all.

Spend your money elsewhere
August 19, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
You pay for a pest control and there’s a roach infestation. The leasing staff takes forever to respond and when they do they have a snobby attitude and don’t actually do anything that the job requires. Tons of fees from up out of nowhere and DIY renovations.

RUN AWAY!
January 27, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
I'm approaching the end of my lease and if I could give this place 0 stars I would. Okay, maybe one star because the maintenance guys are great and the courtesy officer is really nice and takes complaints seriously. HOWEVER, the office staff is horrible. They take forever to get back to you on matters if they ever get back to you and are some of the least empathetic people I've ever met. The apartments have waterbugs, spiders, and roaches no matter how many times pest control comes out and no ...
matter how clean you keep your apartment. The walls are very thin and the floors creak. There were major plumbing issues that weren't taken serious initially. The "grace period" for rent is only two days. Save yourself the headache.

No service
December 27, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
The door lock broke when trying to enter my apartment on Christmas Day. Put in an emergency service request and was told they couldn't do anything for me and to call a locksmith. Had a locksmith come out and it cost me 340 dollars to have it replaced. I will be seeking to be reimbursed.
Great place!

Amazing Area
October 1, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
This area is great and my apartment is beautiful , the neighborhood is very peaceful and you usually don't see anyone outside unless they're walking the dogs. Very close to plenty of shops, bars etc. Just wish they had a pet park since its so many of us with dogs in the neighborhood.

management sucks
August 6, 2017 - Review from Apartments.com
Management called my cell phone in the middle of the afternoon and accused me of smoking marijuana in the bedroom of my apartment. I was at work and my daughter was in school. Months have passed and they have yet to offer an apology.
