  • Completely Unprofessional Management Company

    August 1, 2022
    I lived here for the past year and had no problems with the prior management company, even if the apartments were poorly maintained. Now, they have been taken over by a new management company unfortunately after I already signed my next lease. The new management company doesn't have a phone number to contact them or even website. They will not show me a copy of my lease and seem to have no intent to do so. Additionally, they will not allow any online payments of rent, nor will show me exactly ...
    what rent is due in writing. They are also ignoring my maintenance requests now of which are there many! I would highly recommend avoiding these apartments.

  • Unprofessional

    August 24, 2021
    I scheduled a tour at 12 pm on 8/24/2021. I did arrive at 12:41 pm being that I like to be prompt when I know I have a schedule appointment. I did see the close sign hoping that someone will be there on time for my tour. Just to say I called only to be ignored by whom ever I was schedule with. I do find it highly unprofessional and I guess it was a red flag on how this establishment is managed. I would love to speak with management to find out if this was in error or some form of an apology.
