    Wonderful Staff and resident’s

    4.5/5 Anonymous on Jun 30, 2023

    Everything at Paces Pointe has been amazing other than the maintenance. We have been here barely over a month. When we first moved in we addressed some things that needed to be fixed. A few things have but the major things still have not. They have been quote on quote looked at but not been repaired. Dryer takes 3-4 times to dry clothes dishwasher still doesn’t wash the dishes. Light in kitchen is still halfway hanging. Breezeway lights downstairs and upstairs still do not work which is a safety issue at night. It is honestly starting to be an issue!
