  The apartments themselves are actually pretty nice inside—sleek counters, decent closets, windows that don’t immediately make you question your life choices. If we’re just judging the four walls I pay for, I’d give it a generous 3.5 stars. Cute, even. Like a Tinder date that shows up looking exactly like their photos. But step outside those four walls? Sweet baby Jesus, it’s a post-apocalyptic biohazard theme park. The grounds look like a garbage truck and a diaper factory had an unsupervised weekend bender together. Trash bags ripped open like piñatas, used diapers flung around with Olympic javelin accuracy, mystery vomit puddles that have their own ecosystem, and—because why not?—the occasional syringe just chilling in the landscaping like it’s waiting for its Uber. Dog poop? Human poop? At this point it’s a philosophical debate. I’ve started naming the piles just to cope. “Greg” is still there from last week. Greg’s doing great. We’ve reported this to management more times than I’ve refreshed my delivery app hoping the driver is closer. Emails, portal tickets, in-person pleas—radio silence. Not even the courtesy of a canned “We value your feedback” cop-out. It’s like management died, got reincarnated as sloths, and then those sloths took a permanent vacation. Oh, and every entrance has its own resident nap enthusiast camped out like it’s Coachella for cardboard boxes. They seem chill, sure, but for $2800 a month I’m not paying for the “authentic urban camping experience” package. I want the version where I don’t have to play hopscotch over bodily fluids to get to my front door. We’re already plotting our escape like it’s a Shawshank sequel. Such a waste—the units could be great if the complex wasn’t managed by people who apparently think “grounds maintenance” is code for “let nature take the wheel.”

  DO. NOT. LIVE. HERE. 3/4/26: Lost a $600 deposit despite deep cleaning my unit after moving out because utilities for one month aren't charged until like 1-2 months afterwards. So the other $599.96 was applied to utilities for the last two months before I moved out + $195 cleaning fee. For all my troubles, I'm getting a check for 4 measly cents which I'm gonna throw straight into the trash. I had a list of "Pros" on this review, but this was my last straw (and really the only "pro" about this apartment is that the the units are nice) so I erased it. I've edited this review so many times because this place keeps giving me reasons to add on to it. If I could rate it lower than 1 star, I would. -Trash rooms get full and gross quickly, and the area around the apartment is not safe or clean. Once saw a dead roach by the elevators. -Pet feces and urine on the sidewalks, in the hallways, on the stairs. All they do is put a Wet Floor sign over it and then leave it for days, weeks. -Upstairs neighbors were noisy and stomped so hard it would shake my unit. -Cigarette smoke from the street rises up to the higher floors and makes your unit smell. -No AC, so from July-August, good luck! -There are sometimes events but you can't go because they are almost always during working hours (i.e., 3-5 pm Friday). -People yelling or high on drugs in the alleyway between the apartment and the AT&T building next door. -Trash bins in the back of the building smell awful and sometimes there's trash all over the ground in front of the back door. -The third elevator was broken for the entire year I lived there and I don't remember the last time it was working. -The mail room gets full with packages that people refuse to pick up. -Someone crashed into the garage door so it was broken for weeks. People drive too fast in the garage and I've almost gotten into accidents going around the tight corners. -For a few weeks in the summer, there was a security guard at the AT&T building next door who would rev his engine loudly late at night, waking me up. Neighbors also began to get mad and would yell at him from their balconies. -One of the sprinklers in the alleyway is broken and shoots water up onto the bottom of a second floor balcony and would spray my car and other cars in the garage. -Door decorations. When I first started visiting this place as a guest, people would decorate their doors and there was even a decorating contest. After moving in, I decorated my door area too. Management said I couldn't have decorations on the floor. In autumn, everyone decorated their doors and entryways with autumn decor. Management sent out an email banning floor decorations, including WELCOME MATS, because it was a fire hazard. I can maybe understand the other decorations being a possible tripping or fire hazard, but WELCOME MATS???? -Trying to apply for a unit last year was a nightmare. The person who was initially helping me got sick and was out for a while, so replies to my emails were delayed. Then they mistakenly thought I was applying for the normal 1 bd and said I needed a cosigner who made literally SIX FIGURES A YEAR. Obviously I didn't have anyone to do that for me, but then they realized they had the wrong unit type. This put a lot of unnecessary stress on me. I didn't even qualify for the low income unit because my income was only a few hundred dollars short. In the end I had to settle for a studio, after a whole month of back-and-forth, stress, and literally WAITING IN LIMBO to hear any updates. -I wanted transfer to a larger unit at the end of my lease, but was told they weren't taking any lease transfers and that I had to wait until a month before my lease ended. If approved, I would have only 3 days to move. I wouldn't get a discount as a continued resident and none of the discounts offered to renew my current lease would carry over to the new one. I'd think they would prioritize current residents who pay rent on time and are interested in continuing to live here despite the cons, but I was mistaken.
