Management is Awful!
Management is terrible, they will not treat their residents fairly and neverm iss an opportunity to raise the rent. The plumbing is old and there are mice in some of the apartments.

The management is quite horrible and quite literally will present you with bogus facts while making the rent higher, Appliances are outdated as well as the lift is never fixed, The parking spaces are tight and have poles around them and get ready to start paying $95 for that space
