7/22/15
Relatively clean and safe, bad management
Some pros of living here:
-The complex has many units and the inside hallways generally seems well maintained and clean.
- The units are decent- not as run down as some other places in the vicinity
Cons:
- Manager does not deal with a plugged trash chute in a timely manner... thus there will be weeks where the hallways smell like garbage and one must wear an oxygen mask to make it to his unit alive
- Mold appears frequently on certain unit walls because the managing company Premium Properties… is too cheap to use higher quality paint
- Management sometimes ignores maintenance requests, such as a poorly functioning refrigerator or broken laundry machines
- It is inconvenient to have to commute to the Oakland office to turn in rent when the manager lives in the unit
- Rent continuously increases every yearReview from Apartments.com
