Poor Management, Maintenance, and highly unprofessional.

May 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
The apartment i got is in bad conditions, it is not what management mentioned to us. Cockroaches, leaks, mold and many other details. Maintenance and management are fully aware but haven’t seemed too eager to fix it. I don’t even think the maintenance team are qualified to fix half of the stuff that’s wrong! Please read the google reviews before even thinking on applying here. Horrible customer service and hard to work with. Not worth the price:(

Unpleasantness and mistreatment of tenants

May 1, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
Those apartments are in poor condition: there are cockroaches, the air conditioning doesn't work, and the management mistreats tenants when they go to report an issue. I recommend that you do not rent there; | lived there for a year, and it was one of the worst things I could have done.
