Chronic Mismanagement, Poor Security, and Neglected Maintenance — Avoid This Apartment Complex
Overall, this management team shows a complete lack of accountability, transparency, and respect for tenants. If you value honesty, proper maintenance, and basic security, avoid this place. The problems here are not isolated — they are systemic.
1.The apartment complex may look acceptable at first glance, but living here quickly revealed serious and ongoing issues. Management was largely unresponsive and ineffective. Maintenance requests went unresolved for months, and communication consisted of... vague responses and empty promises. There was no sense of responsibility or follow-through.
2.Package theft was a persistent and unresolved problem. Deliveries were frequently left unattended, and packages were stolen directly from my porch. This issue was reported multiple times, yet management took no meaningful action to improve security, adjust delivery procedures, or protect residents’ property. I was left to deal with the losses on my own.
3.After moving out, the situation became even more concerning. Following two final walkthrough inspections, I signed official paperwork confirming that the apartment was left in excellent, clean condition. Everything was approved and documented. However, four months later, I unexpectedly received a charge for an alleged “additional cleaning.”
When I requested a detailed explanation or documentation to justify this charge, management failed to provide any clear or credible report. Based on my overall experience, this raised serious concerns about transparency and post-move-out practices.
4.The outdoor areas reflected the same lack of care. Common spaces and yard areas were dirty, poorly maintained, and frequently littered with dog waste. Regular upkeep appeared to be neglected, creating an unpleasant living environment.
5.The pool was also poorly managed. It was rarely cleaned, lacked proper supervision, and was often used by people who did not appear to be residents. There was no enforcement or monitoring, making it feel more like an unmanaged public space than a private amenity.
Overall, this was not a well-run community. The issues I experienced were ongoing, ignored, and clearly part of a broader pattern of mismanagement. This review reflects my personal experience as a former resident, and it is not a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a safe, well-maintained, and professionally managed home.
