Believe the reviews, this place hasn’t changed
Honestly, upon moving in this place was a dream. Great amount of space for the price and a decent location despite the hospital traffic.
Cons: parking is a nightmare. They’ve promised us parking spaces for over 4 months now but nothing. Reading older reviews it hasn’t changed since 2015, yikes. Obnoxiously noisy neighbors. We had a unit by the pool and oh my god the blasting music and screaming teens till late at night and use of pool after hours during the summer. It feels like none of these… people have any respect on each other’s spaces despite asking politely to keep things subtle. Weed and cigarette smokers around the area will leave your car smelling like an old bar.Review from Apartments.com
