    The entrance gate on Hartfield Road to this apartment complex is damaged and makes a loud, constant squeaking noise that disturbs not only residents but the surrounding neighborhood. Despite multiple complaints, the management has failed to take any action, showing a clear lack of responsibility and concern for tenants. Security is also a major issue here. I have witnessed people jumping over the fence to enter the property, and on multiple occasions, I have seen individuals walking around with firearms. This raises serious safety concerns for anyone living in or visiting the complex. The overall environment feels careless, unsafe, and poorly maintained. I would strongly advise against moving into this complex if you value safety, cleanliness, and responsive management.

    I moved here in March and I’ve had nothing but a good experience. The leasing office worked with me to get my paperwork done and was very accommodating to my time line. They were all very kind and professional. The maintenance team is VERY quick to respond and fix your issues and they’re good at their jobs. We all mostly keep to ourselves but every interaction I’ve had with other residents has been a positive one. The price is very affordable for my 3 bedroom

    I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the treatment I received from your office staff this morning, both over the phone and in person. The assistant manager, Sophia, was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I asked for information regarding the property, as well as the opportunity to speak with her supervisor, she refused and dismissed my request. Her response made it clear she was unwilling to provide assistance or escalate my concerns appropriately. I found the overall customer service experience to be very unpleasant. The office staff came across as hostile and unhelpful, which reflects poorly on your management and the standards of your property. Based on this experience, I would not recommend anyone to move into or do business with your community. I strongly urge you to address this issue with your team to ensure future residents or visitors are treated with respect and professionalism.
