Price is high for what you get. Cheaply constructed, the fees add up, not properly maintained, amenities are frequently “out of order” for long periods of time, it just isn’t worth the money.

Avoid, avoid, avoid. Consistently raising rent and admin fees, yet quality continues to drop as they cram more and more residents on the property. Facilities are clearly not designed to accommodate this many residents.

It is a great apartment, good cleanliness, good service but if you’re unlucky you’ll have a downstairs neighbor that plays loud bass every night. So I hope you’re lucky.
