  • Okay apartments; Horrible management! Would not recommend

    August 1, 2022
    The management is quite horrible and quite literally will present you with bogus facts while making the rent higher, Appliances are outdated as well as the lift is never fixed, The parking spaces are tight and have poles around them and get ready to start paying $95 for that space
