Not good
The apartments walls and windows are quite thin (can hear cars and people talking outside). Bad security system. Packages do not get in or are left for anyone to take even though there is a package locker system (had my packages stolen) but somehow people who do not live in this complex get in. The apartments are extremely warm (good for winter but awful for summer). Can easily hear the people in the apartment above you. An apartment manger who is gone half the time, sometimes does not respond… to your emails, and doesn’t fix problems.
