Homes are nice, maintenance is usually quick as well. However, communications with the front leasing office often leaves room for a lot of improvement.

The new staff has been great and much more helpful, but the condition of the apartments leaves a lot to be desired. There have been ongoing maintenance issues, and some problems have taken longer than expected to resolve. The staff deserves credit for their efforts, but the property itself needs significant improvement.

The community is clean and nice. However, activities and events are held during the day during class or work. Sometimes the front office does not give appropriate notice for entering the apartment, most of the time they do though.

Hello,
We have more events coming soon that cater to later of the day. We do apologize if you experienced an unannounced visit, we must notify all residents within 24 hours and knock 3 times before entering.

Very big layout and fun clean amenities. Anytime I have a maintenance problem the request is a fast and efficient way in the portal and always gets resolved quickly
