WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
THE POOL IS FAKE. Yes there is a pool, it was fixed up for pictures only. It does not and will not be available to actually be used.
Management has changed a few times in my time living here, NOT a good sign.
Rent increases every lease term— they don’t update anything expect the price. So no new appliances if you didn’t already have them.
THEY WILL ALSO INCREASE YOUR RENT VIA EMAIL AFTER YOU ALREADY SIGNED YOUR LEASE! THEY DONT EVEN TAKE THIER OWN TERMS SERIOUSLY!
Yes, they can afford to use... a drone to take aesthetically pleasing pictures of the property, but they don’t actually take care of the property.
Oh and if you get roaches or other bugs? Enjoy your new roommates because they don’t maintain regular pest control! But wait you also have to pay for that too as apart of your lease! Just breaking lease agreements left and right like it’s okay! It’s almost like they aren’t reading what they have us sign, what a wonderful way to run your company.
Front Desk and Maintenance team is severely understaffed, so good luck on getting your calls or service requests answered. Even maintenance emergencies are neglected! Our water was turned off with ZERO notice and no one was able to be reached. We had to sit with no running water in our apartment for 24 hours.
But yet the rent increases every new term.
As for the bot or “owner” replying to reviews, no I will not be emailing your management team about this as you don’t take any of your residents concerns seriously. The only thing you do take is our money. What your cash grab company can do is respond to my Certified Mail, as we will escalate legally if this company continues its negligence.

Catfish Apartment Complex
-Washing machine area has not been fixed in months. Not one washer is serviceable.
- pool can’t be used
- leaking water in walkway has not been fixed in months.
- front staff is friendly, but work orders are not completed to standard.
Area is filled with trash around dumpsters and in parking lot.
DO NOT RENT HERE, unless you are willing to live in these conditions. The only thing they do is host mini “gatherings” for the community here and there.

THE WORST PLACE TO LIVE, AVOID AT ANY COST.
Maintenance is a joke. They take their sweet time addressing any concerns, if at all. Management is very incompetent and struggle to grasp basic business sense. Nothing ever gets done in a timely manner.

Never again
I never really had an issue with noise, that's probably the only good thing I can say about living here. I had to constantly call the office to have maintenance come out, and the thermostat was so outdated that changing the temperature didn't really do much. The war against the roaches was pretty bad, a flying one tried to chase me out once. During final inspection for me to move out I was told my apartment was the cleanest they've seen, but apparently that didn't mean anything. I know a small... section of the wall did need a little touch up paint but not a whole security deposit worth, which they did take. Unless things have gotten better since I moved out I would not recommend anyone staying here.
