    Not a bad community, but the units are over priced for what you pay for. No real amenities, forced valet trash service (which you have to pay for), no security, the Laundromat on site was dismantled in efforts to now charge an additional fee for stackable laundry appliances. I've been a resident for 8 years and have seen 6 different management companies run this community, all with bad reviews on the BBB website. Do your homework before committing to a final decision.

    3 months in, and I definitely love it here. The community is great, the staff is top-tier, and the area is ideal. Almost anything someone would want is within walking distance! I drive an electric car, so the on-site chargers are a big bonus as well.

    3/5 Anonymous on Jan 28, 2024

    This community used to be a great place to live with amenities that were accessible to all (Not this past summer or last for that matter). Now, prices have increased well past the value for the apartments, the office staff feel detached from the people who live here and the people living in the complex have stopped caring about the rules (noise, parking and trash) and the environment of the community. This is a such a pretty complex. The apartments are old (old appliances, rugs and color scheme) and need to be updated..

    every evening hindu kids playing outside of 305 apartments. they use the handicap ramp as a playground. screaming, hollering, right outside our apartments. their parents show no concern whatsoever. plus the parents are out without wearing a mask, talking in groups, not social distancing. this needs to be addressed. please do not bring up fair housing, which also applies to me.
