AVOID
I lived here from January 2023 until recently and moved because I was tired of being patient with a community that prioritizes exterior appearances and rent collection over livable conditions. While management focused on power washing, painting buildings, and repaving the parking lot, the inside of the units fell apart. This has been the worst apartment experience I’ve ever had.
I dealt with a leaking ceiling for over a year, which was never fully resolved. I also experienced constant HVAC... issues—A/C problems and repeated heat failures. Even after the unit was replaced, it continued blowing cold air, including on emergency heat. Whenever temperatures dropped below 30 degrees, the heat stopped working entirely. That is unsafe and unacceptable, especially with a school-aged child.
There were multiple work orders documenting these issues. Paying premium rent under these conditions is unjustifiable.
Noise was another ongoing issue. Downstairs neighbors frequently argued at the top of their lungs, often accompanied by a child screaming, creating a distressing and disruptive living environment.
I spoke with Laurie Melton, who showed some concern, but after more than a year, being told it “takes time to pinpoint” a ceiling leak is not an acceptable response.
The building was also advertised as secured with key-fob entry and a call box for guests. The call box was supposedly being worked on from the time I moved in, yet it never functioned during my tenancy.
This complex is not worth what they charge. The price does not reflect the real living conditions behind closed doors. Don’t be fooled by exterior updates or renovated unit photos—the reality does not match the promise.

Hi Tiyana,

Please know that our team responded as promptly as possible and worked diligently... to complete the necessary repairs with the goal of resolving the concerns properly and helping to prevent similar issues in the future.
We are truly sorry that the results did not meet your expectations. While exterior improvements are important for maintaining the overall community, they are never intended to come before the livability and well-being of our residents inside their homes.

Kind regards,
