  • Absolutely terrible

    July 21, 2022
    This was the worst apartment I ever lived at. Everything was very old and dated and practically falling apart. Management was very poor and maintenace requests always took weeks.

  • Terrible management

    August 8, 2021
    The entire time I lived here I couldn’t get management to call or email me back for any reason. I couldn’t get my mail key for several months after moving in and when I was trying to move out there were many issues. One person told me I could stay until the 30th, another person told me I had to be out the 15th, and I never got ahold of anyone to return the key and have them do a walk through. I called 4 times, sent several emails, submitted forms on the website, texted management, and went to ...
    their offices which were always closed. I wouldn’t recommend living here to anyone. The convenience of living close to western is not worth the inconvenience of living here. Besides that, the walls are thin & it’s overpriced for the area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
