Great place to live
I’ve been living here for 3 years now and I have no complaints. The management team is approachable and genuinely cares about the residents. The maintenance team is responsive and efficient. Any issues I’ve had were resolved quickly.

Black mold all in the a.c. units and walls. Management will do nothing but evict you if you mentione it to them. It's sad.Especially for the kids and babies that live there. Do not rent state health department is fixing to investigate.
