  I have lived here for almost two years, when I first moved in this building was awesome. The management and maintenance was super on top of it and everyone was well educated on the property. Since then, there is all new staff and everything has really gone downhill. I have reached out to management about different issues and they always seem to come up with new excuses about why things are not able fixed. I do not reccomend living here and I am awaiting the day my lease ends.

  Sometimes not being approved turns out to be a blessing in disguise. The level of professionalism during the application process often reflects the experience you’d have as a resident. In the end, I’m genuinely grateful the process revealed things early — it saved me from committing to a situation that likely wouldn’t have been the right fit. I wish them well moving forward. 👍

  When I first moved into this apartment complex, I had high hopes and a positive first impression. Unfortunately, after living here for less than six months, my experience has taken a drastic turn for the worse. On July 12, 2025, I was locked inside my apartment for over two hours, which posed a serious safety concern, especially given that I live on a higher floor. In the event of a fire, I could have been at risk of severe injury—or worse. When maintenance finally arrived to assist, they forcibly kicked in my door, only to replace it with one that is improperly secured. The door is now at risk of either breaking completely or locking me inside again. Despite numerous requests for a proper fix, management has dismissed these concerns, claiming there’s no issue. As if that wasn’t enough, on August 19, I was also trapped inside the building’s elevator. Beyond these alarming safety issues, multiple appliances and fixtures within the apartment and complex are either malfunctioning or broken. What’s worse is the apparent lack of urgency from management to address these issues. Once you sign the lease, they seem to lose interest in your well-being or satisfaction. It is important to note that Harley and Victoria were extremely helpful and have been compassionate regarding my experiences. However, the leasing manager completely disregarded my issues despite viewing video evidence. I strongly recommend that anyone considering moving here take a close look at all their options. I have already advised my family and friends to avoid this property, and I hope others can learn from my experience.

  I normally do not leave reviews, but my experience at this apartment complex has been extremely disappointing and frustrating. After a tornado this May, the AC units broke. It has been over three months and it is still not fixed while all other apartments in town already get everything fixed weeks ago. Living without proper AC during this time has been unacceptable. Management has shown little to no responsibility. Their “solution” is to tell residents to file claims with their insurance, instead of taking action themselves. No one cares about your ice cream night or whatever. WE NEED OUR AC BACK The garage door is constantly broken. Even when repaired, it breaks again soon after. The trash room is often neglected and left uncleaned for long periods, which results in flies and terrible odors spreading through the building. Leasing office staff regularly leave work early, often before 5pm, without any notice. Many times I have gone for help and found no one there. Their idea of “compensation” for not having AC was to give residents the cheapest fans from Amazon. That shows complete disregard for resident comfort. Overall, this has been a very unprofessional and poorly managed community. The lack of accountability and care for residents’ well-being is shocking. I strongly caution anyone considering moving here to think twice. I know management will probably reply to this review asking me to “contact them directly.” Please understand that I already have, many times, and nothing has changed. These public replies are just for show — they do not solve the real problems residents are facing.

  Like many others have written here, I share the same bad experience. As you can tell by the responses written by the property, they keep saying they are working diligently and doing everything they can. That's just not true. There is no weekly updates, repairs are taking way too long and there is no willingness from management to be nice or offer anything for the absolute horrible issues that have happened. My apartment was damaged in the tornado, broken window. I reported it twice and had full understanding that the first few days were chaotic for everyone. But by day 5, no one had come by to even board up my window. Instead I got a condescending email about how we're all suffering in this together and they will get to it when they can. I'm pretty sure I actually saw the same paragraph that was in my email, written here as well as a response to someone's review. By day 8 after the tornado, I physically had to go to the management office, ask where the repair people were and they had to physically go find the foreman. Turns out they forgot to tell the repair crew that they have 2 buildings, the crew went to the south building, the apartment sharing my number was not damaged, the crew reported it as fine and my complaints kept being brushed off. And because it was 8 days with a broken window, the crew that does disaster recovery found moisture in the walls and part of my walls had to be removed and dried out. Tomorrow is 3 months since it happened. I still live in the same condition as it looked 10 days after the tornado hit. No offer of reducing rent, no offer for any compensation because I still had my AC. Well they turned that off on Monday and we're now in a heat advisory over the weekend, my apartment is in the 90ies because no AC and a gigantic whole in the window is not a good combination. And there is not information. They sent out the email for someone coming into my apartment to turn off the AC at noon on Monday, the same day they the shut them off. Today, Friday 8/15, instead of writing an email updating us about the lack of AC for this weekend, they decided to tell us that there are too many packages in the mail room. I'm sorry, but people might have actually left the building and are living at hotels, due to the heat and they are not going to come pick up their packages, that's minor problem when you're struggling to function in apartments that are 90 degrees plus. The default answer from management has been to call your renters insurance, we're 3 months into this, we're all running of funds from our insurances. and it seems like the only time we're getting any response is if we write a review here, so that's what I'm doing too. I like the unit, the location, bathroom is great. Everything else, not so much. I could literally do the communications job with my eyes closed so I'm not sure how they can fail so spectacularly at keeping their tenants informed of simple things. I have had to ask the crew working on the building about updates because apparently that's not something management can be bothered to do. They also sell this as a great place to work from home, I do work from home normally, but because nothing is being fixed and there is no timeline provided, I've been unable to fully set up and do my work from home. And lastly, I'm impressed by the audacity and utter lack of feeling shame from the companies side, by still asking me to pay full rent when I'm not getting a fully functioning apartment for the past 3 months and moving forward for who knows how long? That's just my 2 cents as I'm melting away with 93 degrees in the apartment.
