Worst Management Ever!
All the 1 star reviews are exactly spot on! Horrible management, it takes them forever to do anything! and if you have any questions, they go in circles and have excuse for everything.I have rented 5 apartments in my lifetime and by far this is the worst managed apartment ever! Too bad its run by a horrible management since the building itself is really nice.

Terrible Management -RUN
Management is running this place into the ground. No maintenance, no communication and the manager smokes and talks to neighbors about other neighbors creating a toxic environment. She never takes accountability for her mistakes and never tries to make it better. I would recommend a garbage can before living here ! May “look nice” but just wait for your ceiling to fall in and no one is there to help you.

Pathetic
No smoking rule. As the community manager circles the property blowing out smoke. Then goes about work smelling like a chimney. One maintenance guy for 200 plus units. This place is awful. Very high police presence.
