should be zero stars, trash place !
This place is horrible, they charge you for maintenance and pets control but they’ll never come fix things in your apartment no matter how many times u remind them, and they won’t send someone to exterminate any of the things they have in these apartment to roaches, rats, wasp, ants and etc. the washer and dryers here don’t work at all, they’re full of water and beetles. They’ll over charge you for things if you don’t pay attention to your bill. The hot water only works at certain times of the... day or won’t work at all. The pictures they have are nothing like what the place actually look like. DON’T MOVE HERE

Stay away management is trash
Everyone is going through a tough time with the pandemic and unemployment and these people don't care the units are in desperate need of maintenance they don't take care of the grounds there an ant piles I wasp nest everywhere the rat traps have never been serviced my whole year here they don't have good pets control and they don't keep up with the books very well Especially if I'll come in the office and I see a stack of letters for credit to people apartment where they over charged them... definitely not worth staying here and crime is high

Nice and quiet
Any place you live will have issues to arise but anything that I may have had issues with I addressed it to management and it was taken care of right away. Its very affordable place and walking distance from neighborhood stores. Security don't play at all.
