DO NOT LIVE HERE

When we first moved in there were cockroaches. I’ve talked to other tenants and they have had them as well. I’ve had multiple water leaks for multiple reasons. I’m constantly finding multiple kinds of bugs. They don’t deep clean the units after residents move out. We had to deep clean behind the stove and fridge which was disgusting. There’s old cockroach bait everywhere. And there’s no way for us to get out of the lease without spending well over $2,000, even with the health concerns. On top of... the roaches, our air filter was black and opaque it was so dirty. We regret ever signing the lease.

Breaks contract agreements

Anything in the rental agreement that has to do with loud and bothersome neighbors is completely ignored. Do not recommend any student who wants or needs peace and quiet to stay here.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. Unfortunately through our approval process we cannot screen for good neighbors. We do encourage our residents to be good neighbors and open a dialogue with each other to address any concerns. ... Additionally, we work closely with the police department and encourage our residents to contact local law enforcement should your neighbors create a disturbance.

Levels of noise are subjective to each individual. Should you experience a disturbance during office hours we encourage you to contact the office so we can witness the situation and contact your neighbor during the disturbance.

Again, thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Great place to live

I have lived here since 2013 and have seen a 180° turn around. The apartments are nice and well kept. The grounds have improved with places to picnic. The pool area has been redone. There is an indoor workout room with new equipment. The maintenance requests are answered within hours and usually fixed the same day. There is an app for payments and maintenance requests. The property is safer now. I would recommend giving this place another look if you haven't already.

Trust me don't bother

The people aren't bad, the place isn't either but once you are in & signed a lease you're done. They won't fix things & if so it will take a year or so. What you pay for is what you get. Once you're in good luck cause if you want out then it's a breach of contract if you're not happy. They work on the apartments to get people in but once in there's stuff that needs to be fixed. That's considered an upgrade. So you really do get what you pay for. Doesn't do any good to complain cause as long as... they get rent they don't care. Oh but don't pay rent cause your stuff ain't right, you then get a 3 day eviction & I have pictures so if they read this & think I'm not telling the truth - I can post them with time taken & location.

OKay

It took longer than two and a half months and multiple maintenance requests for them to finally fix my front door so that it could lock. I was never comfortable living there until they found the time to fix this. They have been slowly renovating the apartments (new carpet) however the thing that really need to be replaced is the plumbing. It was built in the 70s and hasn't been updated. All of the sinks in my apartment are slow draining no matter how much draino and drain snakes I used. The... maintenance man that came to "fix" it, basically told me he cant do anything about it and then he left. The staff is kind and has transitioned through new owners.
