    AWFUL MANAGEMENT & DRUG ACTIVITY

    DO NOT MOVE HERE! They sell you on the tour, are really nice in the beginning, then it's downhill after that if you have an issue with your apartment. There is extensive drug use and smoking from my neighbors to the point where my furniture, clothes, and health have been damaged. I have only been here since the end of May. I have attempted to resolve the issues several times with management and recieved little to no response. They know there is illegal activity going on and will not do anything… about it. Safety is also not a concern as the gate has been broken a majority of the time I've lived here. Save yourself the headache, don't bother scheduling a tour. Don't ignore the negative reviews about this place, I did and the turned out to be true. I was so excited to live here but unfortunately now I will never recommend it to anyone.
