.It was great. My family moved into the place we live in now in 2016, the neighbors and neighborhood are all great, I haven't had many troubling issues. The maintenance staff is friendly and great at their job.

        I just want to get my apartment together.I have been living at this address for 19 years.I also can't get a parking space when I come home because people are parking in two spaces at one time or cars are broken down in spaces.

            I am a long time tenant and I have seen the changes with this property, from good to bad. I see things are slowly changing for the better, I hope? I can only talk about the now and what's being done..

                  It needs work. You are treated a certain way because of where you live. Needs a lot of work . Bad area. No security. A lot of hanging and lingering around in the evenings and at night .not safe for kids

                            This community is lively and pretty much a family environment, but you will learn survival tactics such a running from the rats outside & dodging bullets to the herd of mice living in your home. This property has a lot of potential though.

                                  The feeling is bitter sweet, one minute it's nice chill violence free, but in the blink of an eye it gets crazy and unsafe for you or your kids to walk to the store. There is a crazy rat problem also.

                                    Good, bad and the ugly. There's some sense of improvement. I find that management listens but was a tad bit in their feelings. My first encounter with management was not cordial. But it has improved significantly.
