    DO NOT COME HERE!

    Rent is too high for what you get. Can’t keep maintenance staff, they been through numerous maintenance people since I’ve been here. The management company sucks as well doesn’t do anything to help. Probably because it’s not a real company just a name. The office staff switches over every few months & all aren’t professional. The area & neighbors are good no break ins or loud music it’s literally just the office or lack there off.
