3.5/5 Greg F. on Dec 21, 2022

Overall it's a nice place, I've been here 15 years. The place needs someone to shovel during winter. It gets dangerous. Someone is going to get hurt. The parking lot needs redone. Seriously you raised rent 75$ a unit and cut the cable service. Lets call that 25$ a month. So 100$ a month extra from about 50 units. 60,000$ extra a year. It'd be nice if that was spent on the property. Thats all.
