Looks Renovated, But Hidden Costs,Poor Management
These apartments look renovated on the surface with new appliances, flooring, and a modern interior, but the problems start once you actually live here. The floors appear to be damaged, and another tenant mentioned there was a major washer leak from a previous resident that was never properly repaired, which would explain the condition.
The biggest issue is the cost versus what you actually get. Rent is already high, and the utilities are extremely inflated. During the tour we were told… utilities would be around $150 per month, but in reality they are closer to $450. Utilities for the entire property are split evenly among tenants, which is unfair when I’ve seen two-bedroom units with up to 7 occupants.
We were also told we would have two assigned parking spaces, but after moving in we were only given one due to a “misunderstanding.” On top of that, parking enforcement is basically nonexistent from Friday through Monday, so non-residents frequently take the available spots.
The walls are extremely thin and noise travels easily. I lived in a much older building with far better sound insulation.
Overall, this place is priced like a premium apartment, but the experience does not match the cost. It feels like a cosmetic renovation hiding deeper issues and expensive utility charges.Review from Apartments.com
