Dangerous Apartments with Poor Management
Unsafe property with multiple break-ins. Shortly after signing a lease all visitor parking was removed, monthly permits are now $150. Management hasn't been onsite in months and is very hostile and unprofessional in all communications to residents. For the high price I expected a safer environment, fewer burglaries, and mgmt that treats you like a human being.
