Leasing office staffing The leasing office is frequently vacant on Saturdays, during posted business hours (normal weekends, not holiday). The hours posted by the door in the leasing office is not consistent with someone being present. If they happen to be giving a tour, the “we will return soon” sign is also not often accurate. We’ve checked three different times, several hours apart (during supposed business hours), and nobody is there consistently. Phones are also not answered on Saturday,... during posted business hours.

Hi Noelle, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your patience as we worked through recent staffing changes to ensure we can better serve our community. We understand how frustrating it can be to arrive during posted... office hours and not receive the assistance you expected, and we will work to ensure our return times and office availability are communicated more accurately. If there is anything we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team.

The job was not done I was advised that my very old thermostat which does not function normally could be replaced once I submit a replacement request. I did and nothing was done. I never heard from anyone ever since.

Hi Gary, thanks for flagging this. A replacement request shouldn't just go quiet, and we want to get your thermostat handled properly. We're looking into what happened with the follow up. We will reach out to ensure everything is fixed.

The job was not done I was advised that my very old thermostat, which is unreliable and inaccurate, could be replaced once I request for a replacement. I did request and nothing is done. No one told me what happened.

Hi Gary, thanks for the review. We know the thermostat request has been sitting without an update, and that's not how it should go. We want to get this fixed and make sure you actually hear back this time. Please reach out to the office directly so... we can move this along.

Vando is excellent! Maintenance work was executed successfully I have lived here for quite a while, it is a wonderful community overall but our maintenance work since vando arrived has been prompt and done correctly each time! He has managed to deliver excellent service without delay every time there has been an issue whether it’s an appliance or something more complex. Great response time and so kind!

Owesome service ! quick response ! Really Care person ! Our Maintainence expert, Vando is owesome.
Our washing machine was broken in the middle of a wash at 9PM. I called in to report the problem . In 5 minutes, I got a call from Vando. He told me he will come to solve the problem the first thing in the morning.
The next morning he came with a loaner machine so we can continue the wash. He took the broken one back to repair.
Then he constantly update me with the progress, until it got...
repaired (likr a new one).
I really appreciate his careful consideration, his quick response and his careful and detail work.

Shau Shan Leu, a broken washing machine at 9PM is stressful enough on its own, and Vando showing up the next morning with a loaner so you could keep going says everything about the kind of care we strive for here. We'll make sure he hears this. He... absolutely deserves it. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
