The fire alarms are constantly going off in this building due to randos breaking in and there’s trash or pee everywhere. People leave trash on the floors in the trash room and don’t clean up after their dogs. Staff is helpful tho

I love the complex, but some tenants cleanliness, pets and lack of mindset about apartment living prevents me from giving a 5. Additionally, the area around the buildings has unhoused people who make the surrounding area unpleasant.

I really appreciate the front desk people for always being on it as well as the cleaners, and maintenance people! The staff are really nice and helpful. It’s just the outside noise that’s a lot but you can’t control the outside so I get it.
