Where to begin. I’ll give the short version...The apartments are nice, management needs some management. These people were terribly difficult to get a hold of. They are listed for office hours Mon-Fri until 5 pm but for the last four months I have rarely found an unlocked door during the week. One roommate moved out with her dog because it was peeing on the carpet and causing damage. She agreed to pay all carpet fees. We got an initialed statement from one manager saying the carpet fee was due… at the end of lease. A couple weeks later we had an eviction notice on our door. I left three messages on the portal that were never returned. Apparently they thought talking to our ex roommate was as good as talking to all of us. The next I heard from them was a phone call to my roommate saying we had one hour to pay the $1760 carpet fee or we would be evicted and be charged for attorney fees. This happened a month and a half before our end of lease/initialed statement saying when the carpet fee was due.
Bonus info: They charge $45 to be present during the end of lease inspection. And don’t leave a lightbulb burnt out whatever you do! Read More

1 Star is WAY more than this place deserves. The management have been an absolute nightmare to work with (when you can even get ahold of them... because they don’t have office hours anymore), and they have been nothing but rude and condescending during all of our interactions. I would never recommend these apartments to ANYONE, and I would strongly warn them against renting here at all!!

I wouldn't leave any stars if that were an option. All the other negative reviews are absolutely true. When we moved in, the apartment and the area were just so cute, and safe, and we felt this was the best place to be. I didn't even mind the trains.
However as soon as it came time to move out, that's when all the problems started. We bought a house in December, and gave notice in December that we would not be renewing our lease when it was up in March. We decided it would be easier to pay the… last few months of rent, rather than paying a large termination fee up front. Big mistake. When we gave notice, they never made a note of it on our file. So come March, when we went to turn in our keys, they informed us that we hadn't given 60 days notice to terminate our lease. And even though it was their fault for not making a note of it, we were going to have to pay two more months worth of rent, because they had enrolled us in a month-to-month lease!
This place is absolutely incredible in how unprofessional they run business. DO NOT RENT HERE!!! I can't stress this enough.
I was fooled by nice countertops and pretty doors. Don't make the same mistake! Read More

At first this place seemed like a decent place to live when my family and I checked it out. However, once we moved in it quickly changed. This apartment is located across the street from train tracks with trains that frequently go by. For the first 2 weeks I lived there I was woken up several times by trains, as were my children. We finally bought box fans for every bedroom, which helped some. There also seems to be no insulation between floors because we could clearly hear the people above us… whenever they were home. We could even occasionally hear the people below us. Another problem here is dog poop in the grass. Even though the people who have pets in the complex are required to have their pet's DNA taken, for some reason people still let their dogs poop in the grass and not pick it up. I frequently saw the same poop in the same place for days until it was taken care of, so I couldn't ever let my kids place out in the grass. The absolute worse part of living here is moving out because they will charge you for the most ridiculous things. My husband spent 12 hours cleaning this apartment after we moved out and we still got hit with hundreds of dollars in "cleaning fees". We also got charged $25 for a burned out oven light even though it was burned out when we moved in. When we did our walk through I didn't even think to check that because I felt rushed due to the management being present during it. If you do decide to move here be sure to take your time during the initial walk through so you can document everything, and be prepared to be hit with hundreds of dollars in cleaning fees after you move out, even if it is cleaner than when you moved in.
