    I would not recommend living here.

    Please do yourself a favor and look at other apartments before choosing this place.

    We moved here because the complex is fairly new and we thought it would be clean, quiet, and well maintained. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience at all.

    Management is one of the biggest problems. Rules are not consistently enforced, and residents seem to get away with whatever they want. Marijuana smoke is a regular issue around the property, including around certain units and common areas. There
    … are also large dogs frequently running around off leash, and dog poop is constantly left throughout the grass because people do not clean up after their pets. I have personally stepped in it more than once.

    There are also children who play outside, and I have seen a large dog run after kids. Even if the dog was being playful, that should not be happening in an apartment complex where leash rules are supposed to exist.

    The property also has a major pest problem. There are fire ants everywhere, and we have seen spiders that appear to be brown recluse.

    The pool is disgusting and poorly maintained. It has had visible algae/grime, and residents smoke, drink, and leave trash around the pool area. For an amenity that is advertised as part of living here, it is extremely disappointing.

    For such a new apartment complex, the overall condition and lack of management are unacceptable.

    Before signing a lease here, I strongly recommend visiting at different times of the day, walking the entire property, checking the grass, looking closely at the pool, and seeing what the complex is really like when residents are actually home.

    I would not recommend living here.
