I got no problem with the room, but no parking … they will ask you to park in the middle of nowhere… and anything can happen to your car. Everything I buy something I have to do back and forth from alllllllll the way where I park in the middle of nowhere to my bedroom. I don’t want you to experience this situation

I am moving here!
The new property management company clearly cares about the property and their residents. I will be moving here with my husband and cannot wait to make that happen! This is by far the nicest property we have gotten the opportunity to look at!

Worst environment
Right next to a construction zone. Dirty outside and inside. Stains on carpets. Elevator and hallway smell. I saw bikes with only a wheel locked on the rack. Tenant leaving angry notes about packages being stolen. I wouldn't waste my time and money here.

Do not move here.
Property managers are terrible. Will ignore you if you have a complaint about loud neighbors banging on the wall that are knocking stuff over in your apartment. They also let the trash room overfill with garbage and will blame the residents for “overfilling” because they’re too lazy to do anything about it.

Great location
Great location, decent pricing. Old property manager is as so personable and communicative with people beyond a email or flyer. Just changed management, so hope it holds up.
