        WARNING: This apartment complex is managed by a bunch of crooks! I lived here for 4 years and moved out when I found a house to purchase. During the winter, my electric bills were usually around $300-$400 a month due to the cheap metal windowsā€¦Ā See More >

            The worst place in town. Avoid by any means, especially if you are a foreigner. They are racist, rude, uneducated and what not. Miranda is so rude and unprofessional. I have no doubt that all the good reviews are written by the office people.ā€¦Ā See More >

                        We live in that apartment for one year. We cleaned the apartment before we moved out. However, almost one month after we moved out,we received a letter from the apartment.

                              The apartment complex is terrible. Granite the size of the apartments are nice, they are very outdated. The windows let cold air through in the winter due to the metal frames. Sometimes you wake up with ice on the frames of the windows.ā€¦Ā See More >
