  A long negative experience that started so-so to begin with. The roaches are insane. Legitimately sometimes my friends in other apartments in the complex as well my own experience have told me it’s like ur living outside. Middle of the night don’t go out in the otherwise sanitized kitchen because you’ll see 5 just scurrying across the countertops. Actually disgusting. The pest control? Literally 1 tiny spray in the washer dryer closet of all places and that’s it. They even threaten you with fees in the lease if you talk out about it like this. The walls are so thin you hear your roommates breathing not to mention if they decide to do anything else… sleep can be hard to come by as the cars going by feel like they r right by your ears at all hours of the night. Their lawn service even starts at 6am on a random weekday so best of luck getting rest. The furniture is so cheap that the sofa has so many cuts in it when we moved in and nothing was done about it. The room chairs break and are so uncomfortable. The A.C. Can be very finicky so make sure to keep a close eye on it otherwise you’ll have to wait until they decide to fix it. The pressure tactics to sign (only have 48hrs after touring to sign) don’t stop once you move in. They continuously harass you sometimes multiple times in a single week to resign on both email and texts to your personal phone starting just a month or two into your lease before it’s even possible to know your experience. The hallways smell disgusting and every time I bring anyone over there is always a comment about it. Every. Single. Time. Additionally they never clean the stair wells (pictured but not even the worst it is) so there’s literal dog pee stains across the levels not to mention the filth that accumulates which makes it hard to breathe. Considering there’s no elevator in the other 2 buildings? Good luck. It smells horrific. The trash system is very unpredictable to the point that one week they pick up at 4pm (when they say trash out at 5 minimum) and then the next week it’s 11:55pm at night. The best part about it is when you wake up with a note on your door saying they’re going to charge you for leaving your trash out when there’s no congruency to begin with. What a place lol. Parking is atrocious to the point that you either pay to walk a football field length and up 5levels of stairs from the parking garage or if you’re lucky you pay close to a 100 dollars a month for the adjacent ones just to get a 150 dollar boot. There is literally no visitors parking that’s within reason (non ada compliant for older parents). They advertise these ‘wonderful’ amenities like it’s such a nice place and then imagine that! the tanning room is legit never open, can’t even get in there and the pool? The main thing they advertise? It’s been locked for almost entirety of the lease term with no explanation whatsoever to residents only that “it’ll be open soon” which is never has. The coffee station? Only accessible during office hours and when it is, out of order sporadically and the various options are depleted never to be restocked. There’s no 24/7 package service offered only during business hours so if you work a normal day? Again good luck picking it up. If you order anything and it gets delivered after they close without you knowing - it’s getting stolen out of the lobby. The maintenance people are wonderful but so understaffed and constantly rotating in and out of the job that the 24/7 maintenance line is an actual lie. Like flat out out lie. They’ll come eventually but it isn’t 24/7 like is said on tours. Employees are hit and miss, initially they’re so nice and the eventually as time goes that facade goes with it. I’m 90 percent sure the positive reviews on here are employees with made up emails. Do not give in to the fake niceness. There’s GOT to be better places now that they raised the prices a 100 a month for this next year with not a damn thing changing for the better.

  I had a very disappointing experience with this leasing office. Communication was extremely poor throughout the process. Although multiple appointments were offered, I never received any meeting link for the online tours. We also scheduled an in-person tour on April 13, and I went to the leasing office at the agreed time, but no one showed up or contacted me. I had to find someone to reach the staff, and I was told that an email had been sent to reschedule. However, I never received any such email. Overall, it was very difficult to communicate with the team, and the process felt unorganized and unprofessional.
