    I love the convenience of Sinclair. The parking isn’t great for visitors. The staff is wonderful. I’ve had very positively experience here.

    3.5/5 Anonymous on Sep 1, 2024

    Sinclaire has its perks but also needs to iron out some details. Mainly the elevators. I’ve gotten stuck (or almost stuck) in 2/3 of the elevators on two occasions in the span of six months. This is a major safety issue, especially when the elevator attempts to move up with the doors still open.

    This apartment is a great value for what you get in terms of square footage, quality of maintenance, and property management. They provide great feedback, support, and communication for any and all issues. Additionally you aren't paying extra fees for things you can do for yourself so it's easier to price and budget for rent expenses.
