My experience at The Roost Apartments has been genuinely great. From the moment I moved in, I felt comfortable and taken care of. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick to respond whenever I have a question or need something.

We had some hiccups in the beginning but overall ended up being a great stay! One thing I would improve is the maintenance of the apartments prior to move in but I appreciate the help from everyone involved.

My experience so far at The Roost has been great, safe, spacious, and feels homely. But some areas need improvement- majorly communication from the front desk at times seems exhausting, and maintenance tasks take longer to be completed. Overall, I am happy that I live here!

Overall, it’s a great housing community clean, and nice. The management team is helpful and respectful, just a bit slow at times. Still, they do get things done.

My time at the Roost has been pretty good, although I will say I think I got lucky based on what I've heard from other residents. First of all the area isn't the best, there was a shooting my first week here, my packages have gotten stolen, and people drive through blasting music at early as 4 am. The gate never works, but they provided security so that was nice. Matenience is slow and sometimes inconsistent. I've had a few issues with roaches but for the most part I've kept my unit clear. The... mail system has not worked the entire time I've been here even though they keep saying they're going to fix it. The mailboxes are overflowing with previous residents mail. I will say the price is very competitive; however, I really appreciated that. Overall, an ok experience.
