Not great. The people are nice, but maintenance is understaffed and there are ongoing issues that have failed to be fixed. The water pressure in my building has been wonky for years, which sometimes means trying to shower under a trickle. One of the buildingsā€¦Ā See More >

      My first year went great, after that everything started going downhill especially last year. It's horrible. Trash is always piling up by the dumpster, maintenance requests takes forever to get done. It's a lot of younger tenants who don't care about the property

            The community is decent. You have tenants who use their porches for storage and it looks tacky. Putting the trash cans outside the door. Maintenance has gotten better. Hate that you no longer need a fob to enter the gym and laundry

              So far my experience has been good at the paddock club. If I have any feedback it would be to change the payment system so that I am able to make payments using more than one payment method if needed.

                      I've had a pretty good experience here so far except for the responsiveness of the new property manager and a recurring plumbing issue I've had lately. I wish they'd bring back the park for the kids to play.

                                  Very beautiful experience. The residents are quiet and the property is clean. I will always refer family and friends who need similar apartments. There have however been minor incidents of car burglary but not of much concern since they were adequately investigated by property management.

                                              My overall experience in this community is good. The only issue I have is with the maintenance crew. My mailbox key hasn't been replaced. The community is nice and quiet. I enjoy living here. Just wish the pool was open more this summer.
