    Don’t live here

    Don’t live here! You will pay as much rent as a mortgage and they promise all these amenities but they have zero security and people are constantly having packages stolen. Management is aware of the issue and tells you to send your packages to their “secure” mail center but half the time the carriers just leave the boxes on the floor instead of in the lockers and it’s a loose-loose situation. If you want to feel comfortable in the community you live in it’s not going to be here. First it’s… stealing then what’s next?
