Nasty unclean save your money
Save your money, this place has very unprofessional management. They don’t charge a deposit which should be the first red flag. Dirty mouse traps sitting out upon move in. Broken dishwasher that doesn’t close windows that don’t open. This place is a joke and no leasing office on site so goodluck getting anything solved ever!

Wish I could give zero stars
Neglect, neglect and more neglect! Do not rent here unless you like living in dirty, unsafe conditions.
