So far decent. I've been here 15 years and have seen ALOT of changes. Now is a great time for consistency.

I honestly love our apartment, but we've just had so many frustrating situations with neighbors and previous maintenance and management. Our dishwasher didnt work from day one, it wasnt a huge deal but when we sent in a ticket, they looked at it and messed with a few things,and then said if it still isnt cleaning the dishes to put in another ticket. We ended up putting in another ticket, they looked at it again and said they may be able to replace it for us because it's not washing the dishes. Only to be later told by management we had to purchase our own dishwasher if we wanted it replaced, and that they would install it for us. They did install it and remove the old one, however, not without damaging a good amount of our flooring. Our dryer has not worked the entire time either, but we have been told consistently there is nothing that can be done. The water temperature is either freezing cold or scalding hot and changes every minute or so. Dog stations almost never have bags to pick up after your pet. And the amount of noise complaints we have sent in about our neighbors is insane, only for nothing to be done about it. Other than that, internet works great, our AC and heat have had no issues, all of our other appliances are perfectly fine. Having access to a fenced in dog run is extremely helpful as well. And the staff and maintenance have always been very kind, aside from previously mentioned issues with prior management.

My boyfriend and I really love it here at Element! The only discrepancies we had with moving in had to do with an unfinished shower floor (paint chipping), a new black dishwasher that we were told would be installed shortly before moving in, and the majority of our first inspec
