Renters Reviews and Ratings
Callous and unprofessional landlord!
November 21, 2024The building and its surroundings are unclean and poorly maintained. The landlord increases the rent annually without making any repairs. Be prepared for plumbing problems, such as a leaky ceiling.Property Manager Responded
November 26, 2024Hi, We are sorry that you were disappointed with our property. We strive to provide a high standard in our apartments and address all maintenance concerns. If you would contact us directly or stop in the office we’d be happy to see what your specific issue is so that we may correct. Thanks The management
Property Manager Responded
February 12, 2025Hi, I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations as we sincerely try to keep the building and surroundings clean and professional looking. Unfortunately, with all the increased expenses that we are hit with (insurance, utilities and taxes etc.) we have no choice but increase our rental rates. We are priced very fairly compared to our competitors.

Good Experience
June 26, 2023Overall, this apartment living experience was really good. All maintenance requests were taken care of, concerns were heard, and the owner was extremely approachable regarding any concerns we had. The apartment looks super modern inside with new and clean appliances. Overall, very well done apartment.Review from Apartments.com

March 29, 2023No parking, nothing has ever fixed correctly, and the rent goes up a lot every year.Review from Apartments.com
