Besides the crowded and dirty pool that people seem to like, there is nothing redeeming about this place. I will be leaving as soon as my lease expires. The quality of the construction is poor, and every facet of the building is cheap, from the appliances to the plumbing fixtures. You can hear all four of your closest neighbors, and those neighbors have become increasingly noisy. Now, you would think that management would want to control that for the benefit of all, but that's not the case. If you call the "security guard" to complain about noise at 2:00 a.m., he'll suggest that you go talk to your neighbor. If you talk to the office staff, they'll tell you to call the security guard. Like everything else, the office staff will simply pass the buck. The fitness equipment is broken, not their problem. The wireless Internet services is down; well they ve called the guy. Theft and vandalism; how could they possibly have any responsibility'

Yes, there is crime in the building. Nothing violent (so far) just theft and vandalism. Has management done anything besides hiring one worthless security guard' More security' No. Security cameras' No. Take responsibility for the thefts. Absolutely not. And there is illicit drug use here too. Yes, in addition to smokers in the hall, you ll often smell marijuana. If that s your thing, then sign and lease and wait for you contact high. If not, you should look elsewhere.

Management also had the brilliant idea to rent out the guest parking spaces to a production company. Not only was it harder for residents and guests to find spaces, but also there was a rude and ignorant gate guard and a bunch of speeding non-residents, a few of whom caused accidents. I could go on, but to summarize run away fast.
