The community is very friendly. The apartments are a great size for the money. I think the cabinets and a/c unit is pretty old though, which might be the cause of the bugs. I had a leak in my roof when I first moved in. Then maintenance fixed it, but not the first time. It was completely resolved on the second complaint.

The office staff is great, when they are there. It is hard trying to get a hold of the staff. Not that you would need them that much, it is just good to know when you need them they would be there. I am assuming because they are almost full to capacity that is why they are not in that often. I have lived here for almost 9 months now.

You will like the staff. You will like the square footage. Water is included in the rent, so that is really great. Not a lot of apartments include water anymore. The laundry room is good; I think the machines are ok. At least they work. I have lived in apartments without a washer and dryer, and for me personally, I dont think I will do it again. But the apartments do tend to get a noticeable amount of roaches, not a lot but for someone who dont like them at all.. it bothers me. I usually stay in my bedroom at night because in the beginning I used to see one big bug at least every night. But I have complaint and they put do pesticide now.

I would have to say, all in all, it is a good place to live. I feel safe, and the community around this apartment is a bit busy. But not dangerous to my knowledge. I used to walk in the park across the street, but I stopped because of some weird incidents. Not dangerous incidents, more like just left me uncomfortable. I would recommend this place to someone, if they dont mind a little bit of roaches. It is just hard to look past since I lived a lot of places and I have not seen that much before, but it has slowed down. There are spiders; I havent had a problem with those. I am not scared of spiders.

I think they just need to renovate the bathrooms and kitchens a bit and things would be even better.

It has changed management from GMC to Horizon. I don't think there has been pesticides laid down for a while and there is a new office staff. I don't know what to think of this property any more. The floorplans are spacious.
