Don't move here, elevator been down 80 days this year!

The elevator has been down over 80 days. No rent concessions because elevator is not in lease even though it states there is an elevator on all of their ads. City has shut elevator down and building continues to fail inspections needed to reopen.

        Today, 10.8.21 there was a hostage situation at this building caught on cell phone with an officer involved shooting. It was aired in ABC. Criminals inhabit this place whether they have a lease not not. Nothing the management says can change the video footage.

              We are sorry to see that you would choose to rate our community so poorly based on the actions of outside actors. The comfort of our residents is our highest priority and contrary to your assertion, we are putting forth efforts to resolve this issue. We hope you will assist us in this process by contacting the office as well as the local authorities if you notice any suspicious activity in or around the community.

                We are dismayed after reading your review. Our team cares deeply about the comfort of our residents and work hard to provide excellent experiences for them all. Our records show that your rent increased because of the decision to go on a month-to-month lease as opposed to your original one. With that said, we understand your frustration due to any possible inconveniences that may have occurred during your stay. You are more than welcome to give us a call if you would like to discuss anything further with us. We would love a chance to speak with you and clear the air up. Your feedback is appreciated.
