You Can do Better!

Very average apartments at best. If you donā€™t get a newly renovated unit, expect outdated appliances. The kitchen is insanely small with very little counter space, not ideal if you actually cook. Maintenance is mediocre. They do good with small things but bigger things notā€¦Ā See More >

    Stay clear of here

    Management is rude and tried to turn me against my roommate and vice versa while stating nothing of substance. Visually a racially segregated community. No retention of current residents everything is done to increase rent. The luxury apartments are cheap bare bones apartments with Ikeaā€¦Ā See More >

      Unprofessional leasing manager We've lived here for 2 years and enjoyed every minute of it until now. We were in communication with the leasing manager, Rachael, about moving into a larger apartment. She asked for a payment of 450 dollars, which we provided, a proofā€¦Ā See More >

              Your review is very concerning. Crime has no address and can happen anywhere at any time, but the comfort of our residents is a top priority for us, so please come see us in the office at your earliest convenience. Thank you and we hope to speak with you soon.
