Recent reviewsJay D. on May 29, 2020This place has become home to me and is a pleasant, quiet and safe home to be in.
Jamesetta M. on Apr 1, 2020I feel that it is a good place to live. Not noisy at all. Everyone seem to be pleasant. The pets are nice and good behavior. Sometime people don't pick up pet waste. Overall it's decent.

Recent reviewsAnonymous on Dec 31, 2019Guest parking: very limited guest parking to the point where literally guests cannot visit. However, only 1/2 of the resident spots are taken at a time, even on the busiest nights. PLEASE reevaluate this distribution as there are plenty of spots to go around. Maintenance: very responsive and gets the job done quickly (next day, if not same day) however, pride in their work would be kinda nice. We had an issue once where we needed a hallway light bulb changed.... the maintenance worker tracked in plaster into our unit hallway, replaced the bulb yet did not even screw it in.. huh? We (tenants) had to remove the ceiling feature in our apartment to screw in the lightbulb after the replacement was "complete". Payment issues: Twice now my roommate and I have been unable to pay rent. not that we haven't tried, but the first month of rent that we tried to pay, the automated system removed the full ~$1,040 from each of us. and then we got charged a late fee on top of that. Not our fault. Next, a few months later, we tried to pay rent and the rent cafe system was down. Since this was "our second payment issue" it was mandated that we could only pay with a cashier check... again, not our fault. It's seriously little things. Constant management turnover, rent inconsistencies, guest parking issues, neighbor inconsiderations (smoke smell) among other little things. I hope this constructive criticism helps as you guys move forward. This review was not meant to be inflammatory, but was to serve as comments regarding my roommate and my time here for the past 7 months. Thanks
Anonymous on Dec 10, 2019I am ready to move out. Guest parking is a nightmare....
