Do not live here, I regret renewing my lease. The rental office is not able to be reached by phone or email. When you go in person they’ll tell you that they’re going to call you back with an answer and they won’t. Maintenance issues will take weeks to be resolved. I am currently on week 2 of issues with my heat and it is 8 degrees outside. There is no urgency on the office management’s side, they truly do not care so don’t waste your time.
