    POORLY RUN AND MAINTAINED COMPLEX

    In the past 6 months that I've been here, we have had 3 managers and the complex is dirty. Tenants are sketchy and noisy as hell. When I was shown the apartment everything looked clean and organized, but a month later and the trash is all over the place, very dirty laundromat and a treadmill that does not work. Not to mention that packages are stolen. Check Yelp for accurate reviews and photos of how disgusting this place is. I cannot wait for my lease to end so I can get out of here!
