    DO NOT MOVE HERE

    I regret accepting this offer. I genuinely feel like I was intentionally placed into one of the worst units available. It’s extremely disheartening because I specifically asked Andrea, the leasing manager, for a renovated unit, and she looked me in my face and told me there were none available. Coming from out of state, I trusted what I was told especially after they promoted an amazing move-in special only to be placed in an old, poor-condition unit.

    What makes this even more upsetting is that
    … there is a vacant renovated unit right next door to me that no one is currently living in. Meanwhile, I am dealing with a severe infestation of roaches, gnats, and mold.
