Strictly Ok

Lived here for the past 8 months. It is ok and nothing more. The maintenance crew is beyond useless. They are understaffed and take months to fill any request that is not an emergency. The power goes out semi-consistently (about 1/10 days). The leasing staff are typically unresponsive or unhelpful in questions. The units themselves are fine and the parking/amenities makes up for it somewhat. Location is quiet and pretty safe. Overall, I would not recommend living here, but the price is tough to beat.

Overall Nice Place

The location and having the lake are awesome. The rooms, when everything is in proper working order are very comfortable. There are maintenance issues which really are rooted in the fact that the contractors that renovated the rooms were pretty careless and so you sometimes run into major issues. That and they don't replace out the water boiler or heater unless it breaks so some of them are really on their last leg. The maintenance fluctuates, sometimes it's handled in a timely fashion. If they need to purchase something (like a washer or dryer) to replace it, you are looking at 1-2 months in most cases. This has happened even when there are plenty of maintenance staff.

This place is overpriced and not managed well

Not much to say but it’s too much money for too little everything.
