    4/5 Anonymous on May 17, 2017

    The apartments here are very nice. However, there has been multiple times where I have came home and smelled weed in the building. And the other night both mine and my roommates cars where broken into. Other than that the staff is great. Matenence is always super quick to respond. The property is well taken care of and the weight room is nice. It's just lacking on the security.
