    I have lived here for almost a year and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Maintenance requests are handled in a timely manner. The management team does a lot to make this feel like a community and I love their events!

    2.5/5 Josh S. on May 1, 2023

    While the regular staff and maintenance crew are excellent, the contractors which they hired to perform the remodels 2022 into 2023 are an absolute joke. I moved from an pre-remodel unit into a recently remodeled unit two months ago - and it has been a nonstop disappointment. *Appliances not installed correctly: Microwave wasn't vented - Dishwasher is so crooked it leaks, and has a giant gap next to it. *Electrical re-wire in kitchen with tiny breakers, ensuring that you can't run any counter top appliances. *Plumbing not sealed when new shower was installed - spraying water all over the inside of the wall - had to be torn out, fixed, and new dry wall put up. *Towel rack fell off the wall just by touching it - was installed with SILICONE sealant - not proper drywall anchors. *New tub installed with a crack in it. *Several light switches installed sloppy or cracked *All of the handles and hinges in kitchen cabinets were sloppy or crooked. And just recently I've started noticing water in the kitchen floor - no idea what's leaking or what that will take to get fixed... All in all - don't move into one of these newly remodeled units. And if you do, go over every inch of everything in great detail before hand....I regret that I didn't.
