If there’s one review you listen to let it be this one. This place is a catfish. The pictures they post do not relate to how the property actually is. There’s dog poop everywhere, the units are very dark and have no lighting- natural or… See More >

        Great location, peaceful and wooded surroundings make The Laurels a good place to live. The maintenance team along with the administration strives to solve the day-to-day problems quickly. I recommend The Laurels to anyone who needs to be well located.

            The Laurels has great landscaping with lots of fully mature trees and plants so it feels like a tropical location. The pool and facilities are great. The parking has lots of spaces but not enough cameras to cover the entire area.

                This place is nothing like the photos. You get tile instead of wood. The “master” bathroom doesn’t actually come with two sides of cabinets only one small cabinet under the sink.

                        The apartment community was better but is starting to deteriorate.

                            I am very happy here. Walk across the street to a regional shopping mall. The bus transfer station is a 5 minute walk. Usual 7-11 plus pizza and wonderful Cuban food across the street. Dare I mention a bar as well.

                                              I would not recommend renting here. The water/sewer bills are outrageously high; maintenance issues take forever to get resolved or don't get resolved at all; overall value is not good for the quality of the community. I also don't think it is a very safe… See More >

                                                The only going for this place is that the rent is a little lower than others. it was nice 5 years ago but has gone down hill. The pool is beautiful but deceiving. It's old and not maintained. A.c. always breaking and tenants are loud… See More >
