I stayed here for a year and was the worst decision Ive ever made. When I first searched for apartments their ratings were far better than they are now which is very disappointing to see.They were (and probably still are) short staffed in the office and with maintenance which added onto their downfall.The biggest problem I encountered during my stay was the lack of communication and service from the office when it came to problems with my apartment (which were a lot!). It was impossible to reach anyone. If you got a hold of someone over the phone you were either dismissed or forgotten because of the volume of complaints and maintenance requests from other tenants. Email responses were also difficult as they wouldnt respond until a couple days later or after you send a follow up email. If youre ok with it, in order to get the staff to work with you, youd have to show up at their door and speak with the manager and stay on them about your requests.Outside of the office staff, the buildings were unkept: Windows were out of frame and the caulking around the windows were so old and gross that water leaked through during days of rain. The gutter along the building of where I stayed was hanging off the wall which made matters worse for rain and summer storms. Some steps had railings and others did not. The biggest hit for them were the AC systems. Most, if not all, tenants had to get their AC replaced because it wasnt working or was damaged.The area was also prone to vandalism. My car was vandalized twice on their property which was it for me. Had to get out of there. Right now they are playing catch up with their upkeep in apartments. Id pass on them and search for someplace better at the moment. more ... hide ...

Just recently moved out of this development. I found Mold all throughout my apartment - I reported it and maintenance took their sweet time coming to bleach down the molded spots. Management advised me that the mold was caused by a pipe bursting in the basement of the building but when I asked them to reimburse me for my damaged property - $1500 worth of my personal belongings they flipped it and said that the mold was due to my own fault due to incorrect use of AC when I asked how they came to that conclusion - they couldnt. Dont waste your time residing at this establishment. Come to find out Management knew there was mold in the ENTIRE building bc my neighbor also had BLACK MOLD in her apartment & management failed to let the other residents know and I had a newborn baby residing in my apartment with me.Spend your money elsewhere in a safe & mold free apartment! more ... hide ...
