Honestly, living at The Roost has been frustrating from the jump. The management is slow to respond, and when they do, it feels like nothing actually gets fixed. Maintenance requests take way too long, and you end up having to follow up multiple times just to get basic issues handled.

The place looks decent at first, but once you’ve been here a bit, you start noticing the lack of upkeep. For the price, it’s definitely not worth it. Parking can be a headache, and the overall environment just...
isn’t as comfortable or well-managed as they make it seem when you first tour.

If you’re thinking about moving here, I’d seriously consider other options before committing. It’s just not the quality you’d expect for what you’re paying.

I love how big my room is, I have a lot more space here than I do at my last apartment. The rent is way better and the utilities don’t add too much. I love the gym.
