Don’t live here

Property management doesn’t answer our calls regarding maintenance or other questions, there’s bugs all over the place, it gets super hot during warm weather and parking is such a headache. Can’t even park in front the building without getting a ticket and the guy who owns the lot next door is so rude and getting into the Fisher theater’s parking lot is too expensive. This is my first ever apartment and it’s been a terrible experience so far. Please go elsewhere to rent, I cannot wait for the... lease to end so we can get away from here
