Crappy management
Honestly the apartment is beautiful and modern, but overpriced and flawed. Cabinets and doors get knicked easily, the furnace is extremely loud, and the electric bill is very expensive monthly and always very cold in the winter. Management is rude- always. Move out we were charged excessively for not dusting fans, cleaning above cabinets, deep cleaning grout lines in the bathroom, along with even the side edges of the dishwasher. Honestly just unnecessary petty charges, for an apartment that’s... already expensive. And if you do move in, be sure your on the newer side of the apartments, because the elevator to the other tower of apartments is always broken or taking over 20 mins to come.

Nope nope nope!
Be cautious about potential overcharges when moving out. We were demanded to pay the night he sent the move out bill which we later find out it was only an estimated bill. When asking for an itemized bill he added in multiple other bogus charges to compensate for the ridiculously high overcharged bill he originally charged us for.
Our electric bill was extremely high during the winter months. A 2 bedroom apartment that we had would average around $300-$400 a month with a temp set at 71 degrees... . (And even at 71 the apartment felt cold) Furnace is extremely loud…would need to turn TV up to the highest volume to hear anything.
Would also recommend asking the landlord to put anything in writing to prevent him charging you for things that were already agreed upon. Ironically we were not given an email address to have any paper trail of anything until after we moved out when he wanted to collect money. Also, homeless people were found sleeping in the bushes right in front of our apartment at the church and we were yelled at from a homeless person sitting at the bus stop looking into our apartment.
