      DO NOT rent here. The mold and the ongoing floods at Santa fe ranch is NOT WORTH living here. Mold will make you sick , floods will destroy your things . The manager is a man child who I was told is only working hereā€¦Ā See More >

                      DO NOT RENT HERE! They will shamelessly price gouge you! This place is in a great location but that's it. Apartments are nothing special...they are dark and dingy, the plumbing barely works. The office staff are incredibly rude and unhelpful. Andā€¦Ā See More >
