Do not move here

Signing a lease here was a bad decision. The leasing office takes no accountability for the horrible parking conditions. We have been living here for 6 months now and just found out PARKING IS NOT GUARANTEED. You may not have a parking spot in the place you call home. Don’t get me started on the bug infestation. Hidden fees every month. Avoid at all costs, although seems like most people are staying away with all the available units here. There will probably be new management in the next few... months again. We are counting down the days til the lease is over.

Things always changing but never for the good

This place looks ok. Close to the highway but that's all you've got. The parking spaces are small, dog poop everywhere even next to the trash stations designed to pick up dog poop. The walls are thin you an hear everything. The staff is nice but the living situation is trying.

I really appreciate all provided help and explanation from the administration, move-in was as easy as possible and fast.
There are small stuff to fix in the apartment when we moved in but nothing critical.
Overall experience is great.
I would recommend moving in here for sure.
