    Do not move here!

    **DO NOT MOVE HERE**
    I've lived here for roughly 2 months and it's been nothing but a nightmare since day one. The management is terrible. The property manager (Brittany) rarely returns calls/emails. There is no management onsite, so the building is clearly neglected. I've even attempted to contact RKW Residential, but have yet to receive a response from corporate.

    During my move-in the apartment was not properly punched. My blinds are damaged, the floors are damaged, W/D is cracked and makes
    … loud noise, damaged carpet and the water had a horrible stench. This is not what I expected and am really disappointed. They won't replace simple things like a blind due to cost. (Pictures Attached)

    The property is extremely dirty. There is trash/debris in the hallways, the garbage dumpster is overflowing, the security cameras do not work, the gym mirror is cracked and they rent out apartments on a nightly basis without screening. You can find the listing on booking.com.

    My car was hit in the parking lot over night and management was no help. I was told the cameras do not work. The gates are another issue. They're pointless and extremely hard to open. I've almost been hit several times by cars while waving my pass around trying to open the gate. If the power goes out you can't even access the building.

    I would suggest looking at other apartments and avoid renting from this company. It may seem like a convenient location, but you'll regret moving here.
