BAD CHOICE

Very terrible apartment complex it does not look like the pictures when you walk in you see nothing but trash in the hallways is not secure. Does not have a pool. It's hard to get in contact with individuals at the office. I attempted to move here and change my mind quickly ask for a requested immediate refund due to the way that the house looks as well as rodents specimens. do not rent from them.

Do not move here!

Under no circumstances do you want to live here unless you are desperate! Roaches everywhere! Management will tack on fees without you even knowing, they ask you to supply your own renters insurance and still try to make you pay for theirs. The buildings are falling apart and is not in a good neighborhood. Had homeless living in the stairwells because there is no secure outer doors. I moved out 4/2022. They advertise a pool, but there is no pool.
