    Good Starter Apartment

    This is a great value place. The new management is good and maintenance is awesome. Any problems we've had have been fixed, however, our HVAC was out for about 2 weeks in the summer. They said that they were waiting on a part and gave us a window AC unit for the second week of that period. The pickleball courts are great, but so many people who don't live here hog them, especially on Sundays. Other than that, it's a great apartment if you have a dog, there are plenty of grassy areas, but some of… the residents don't pick up after their dog, which is frustrating.
