negligence( they don’t care for their tenants)
If I could give them zero stars I would. Been living in the complex for little over 6 months and the moment I moved in my apartment door needed to be fix and I had several outlets that did not work. I have been letting the people at the leasing office know and everytime I’ve been told that it will be worked on and that they know of the situation but still have yet to fix the problems. Also the building has a bug problem and they’re only on top of it when they will be doing showings. Our... elevator works when it wants to and they take their time fixing that too and the laundry room only has like two washers that work out of the 4 they have and maybe a good two dyers that work. So don’t waste you time find something better if you can.

You Get What You Pay For
I've been here for over a year, and I definitely shouldn't have renewed my lease for the second year. The price is great compared to other prices in the area, but you get what you pay for. I live in a 1 bedroom which is a very nice size, great closet space, bedroom size is great, but the kitchen is super small with absolutely no cabinet space. It's horrible in the winter time because we have no control over the heat so it is always 100 degrees inside of our apartment. We run fans and air... conditioners ALL WINTER. There are serious drainage issues. My tub drain gets clogged once a month and I have to put in a maintenance request for them to unclog it. They do come in a timely manner to unclog it, but obviously whatever they're doing is just temporary because it keeps getting clogged. The elevator is HORRIBLE! When we first moved in the elevator was old and raggedy and would break down every day. Then they finally came and fixed it (or so we thought). Turns out they just made it look pretty, but it still doesn't work. There is a whole building with 4 floors and multiple units on each floor, but there are only 4 washers and 4 dryers in the laundry room and only 2 of each work at a time. There is a mice problem, and they call themselves coming to exterminate but it doesn't help. Basically they are just doing bad patchwork and making the place look pretty on the outside so people will want to move in. I cannot wait for my lease to be up so I can move out.

I like the apartment
I like the apartment. Everything is so nice and neat. I have nothing negative to say about this place. That’s the reason I am giving my full recommendation for them. If I were to rate, I am giving five stars.

Terrible!!!!
Don't rent from these scum bags. I lived here 4 years and the rent kept going up and the service was stupid. Drugs going in and out of the building. The "secure building" was not. Maintenance often propped open or tapped open the doors for other contractors and it as like that all day long. People coming in and out who dont' even live here. This place be a dump and not safe.
