We moved here a year ago with the intent to stay a couple of years until we could purchase a home. Originally we were very happy and were very content with the location and rent. Meanwhile Owner/mgt. decided to put in some new cabinets, and sinks and call it "all new". Well as far as we are concerned it is still the same apt. with a few adjustments. It totally does not warrant the $400 increase in rent. I mean the space didnt get any larger. The parking (that sucks) isnt getting better. the "athletic room" (only open during business hours) hasn't changed. Like I dont have to work and can use it at will (duhhhh). The years of bad painting over dirt and holes hasn't changed so I don't see where they think this is such a great deal. The reason I am leaving is because I find it wrong to tell people they have to move to a "new" apt. or leave the community wiht a short notice. What about the elderly people that are on fixed incomes. Besides the financial burden of packing everything and moving "across the street" they lie and say we put that "notice" up before hand when they are going to do something when indeed it was way after the fact and did not allow us the time to prepare. I have complained about this but they dont care. So we are supposed to be mind readers apparently.

They required us to put our pets up in a crate, bathroom or find someone to babysit about 12 times all day long(while they improve....to their own benefit). Just to find out they didnt show up the scheduled day. I am sorry but since they have a #300.00 deposit plus $25 per pet monthly pet rent they deserve to be at home just like everyone else.

We had a meeting scheduled with them (So I put off doing other things to be present at) to discuss our staying the next year only to be told that sorry I cant do that right now because I have people wanting to see the apartments.

Coming from a property mgmt. position prior myself It has always been my opinion that is easier to keep a customer than to get a new one. But who am I.

The office will lie to you every time they can just to get you to go away. They act like this is the best place in town....NOT!!

The hallways are always dirty. The parking sucks. It is very limited and by decal only so if you want to have a friend over you have to put a tag in their car. If you want two friends to come over they have to park at the school and walk a mile to your home. So don't ever plan to have two grandmothers for thanksgiving cause one will ware out a walker getting to you.

I would not recommend this place to anyone
