I am a college student who shares a two-bedroom unit with a couple. Under these circumstances, the rent is managable, and even with two roommates, there is plenty of space to go around. What really sets this complex apart from some others in the area is that it is very quiet, with many professional tenants, and it seems to be safe. Our dealings with management have thus far been positive.

That said, there are some problems, many of which have been mentioned in the other reviews. The "24 hour" maintanence staff has been extremely slow to respond to our service calls. It took several visits to the office to finally get the problems resolved. The buildings are also under renovation, and the work has proceeded extremely slowly and the results have been somewhat disappointing. As a result, our hallway has been ripped up for months now, and looks terrible. Guests comment that it looks like a war zone, although I wouldn't go that far.

Snow an ice removal has also been inconsistant, and for that reason I would caution those with disabilities to consider looking elsewhere.

One factor overlooked in most of the reviews are the amenities, which were a significant factor in our choice to move here. They include clean, well equipped gyms in every building, a swimming pool, and tennis courts. The location, too, is ideal, with easy access to Routes 9 and 84, less than five minutes from CCSU and the UCONN Health Center, as well as many eateries and the West Farms Mall. There is also a park nearby with trails, camping areas, and a playscape.

In order to make this complex an ideal choice, management should do a better job overseeing the work of the contractors as the renovations go forward and be more responsive to maintanance complaints. All the other elements are there.
