        It sucks, Homeless people in the building. Fire alarm constantly being pulled. Packages being missing. Constant rudeness, people roaming around without key fob. People entering garage without key fob. Too much rent for all this BS.

                                        My experience has been great. They honestly are very patient and communicative with their tenants. Fast and proper maintenance. Good security features, parking, food, entertainment, and almost anything you need is nearby. Overall, a great and peaceful place to live.

                                          I love everything except the roaches. Also it's suppose to be a concierge but its not. The carpet needs to replace on hallway. We also should have security cameras on every floor. L2 entrance door needs to be fixed.
