    Don’t live here!

    DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!! If I could select lower than 1 star I would. Worst apartment complex ever. My daughter lived here her sophomore year and had nothing but problems. Maintenance was extremely slow to fix any issues that were wrong. When they did fix issues they would not even clean up after themselves.

    Parking lot gates did not work the entire school year for buildings 4 and 5.
    Maintenance would change the air filters for the air conditioning units inside the apartments, but would do nothing
    … to address the dirt and black mold growing inside the unit on the evaporator coils.

    After move out my daughter was charged 50 dollars for what they called damages -- touch clean bed/bath, but could not even provide proof of what needed to be supposedly cleaned.

    Definitely telling everyone we know not to live here as you will be disgusted and nickel and dimed for everything.
