Great apartment and community but some annoyances
I’ve been living here for 3 months. So far it’s pretty nice. My apartment is spacious and I have a nice balcony to sit on. Tons of storage space. It’s mostly quiet. I think there is a separate maintenance person for each section and the one assigned to mine is really great!
Here’s what I don’t like: 1) Rent is high compared to similarly sized apartments in the area that offer a pool and fitness area. We have none of that. We have a pickle ball court and a small shared gazebo. That’s it.
2)... Rent/Utility payment methods are ridiculous. The ONLY option to pay is online through a portal that charges a fee regardless of whether you pay ACH via checking or if you pay by credit card. I get if they want to charge a fee for credit, but I think it is unfair practices to charge someone for using checking. You also cannot pay your rent at the office to avoid the fee. And here’s the real kicker. You have to wait until exactly the 1st to pay your rent. Cannot pay even the day before. So imagine you are someone who travels and may have periods of time with no cell reception. You basically are screwed unless you want to give someone your password and checking account information and hope they log in and pay exactly on the 1st.
You also pay your water and some other common area fees through the same portal., It’s a separate invoice so you get charged the fee again on your utility portion (you cannot pay rent and the utility together).
The fees suck, but having to pay exactly on the 1st and not before is really ridiculous. So if that won’t work for you, I’d look elsewhere.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that payment processing fees can be frustrating. Unfortunately, these fees are set by third-party payment processors, and all payment processing companies charge some type of fee. To help make rent... payments more convenient and avoid potential late fees, many residents find autopay to be a helpful option, especially when traveling or away from home. If you'd like assistance setting it up, our leasing team would be happy to help. We appreciate your feedback and are always here if you have questions.
