Eh

Throughout the year living there the rent went up about $150 slowly for small charges that werenā€™t explained or told we would be paying beforehand. There is no security, and main doors to the buildings are constantly breaking and they take their time to fixā€¦Ā See More >

      Horrible parking. Unnecessary charges. No security. Main entry doors always broken. Horrible parking. Old apartments, no upgrade. My sister resides here too and saw mice. Another neighbor has animals in her walls. No gym. Water ALWAYS off. Very ------!!

        Worst place to live. Neighbors are killing each other, office and maintenance staff can't seem to communicate or fix any of the issues presented. Animals living in the walls, washers that are always broken and never fixed, and definitely don't expect to have working A/Cā€¦Ā See More >

                      Awful reviews but it's not all true. I was leery after reading reviews on domestic violence and loud neighbors at all hours of the night. The one bedroom apartment is much larger than I thought it would be when I moved in. My apartment isā€¦Ā See More >

                        If you value peace, look elsewhere. Loud cars, people, animals until 2am; lawn mowers and weed-wackers at 730am.

                          Reading the reviews before moving in made me nervous, but The Villas is no different than any other budget apartment complex.

                              This place is very deceiving. Everything started out great.
