I have been a resident for two years. I live in a renovated unit, that means new appliances and carpet.
Living in this complex is like most things in life, there is a plus and a minus. I am willing to take the negative because the location is so convenient, rent rates work for me, I feel safe and the wooded areas are beautiful.
Views: Great views to the hills and canyons. My unit backs up to a canyon, great if you enjoy wild life; tons of birds here and some critters too, lets not forget that; but this is only natural because is wooded and the creek is so close.
Parking: There are flat and hilly areas. I have NEVER had parking problems here, there is plenty of parking for residents and guest, especially on the hilly parts, some people steer away from parking on the hills; it reminds me of parking in San Francisco, CA. if you have been there, you get an idea.
Safety: I walk my dog late at night, and I have never had a problem.
Noise: I rarely hear the people above my unit, but that happens in almost any apartment unit. Overall this is a quiet place; I see very few kids here.
Grounds: They could be better. Last year was really bad with the dog poop. This year it has gotten better, but there is still work to be done in this area.
Insulation: This has been my challenge, my unit gets cold in the winter and my electric bills are high, but it compensates in the summer because my unit stays cooler and the bill is cheaper. Unit location makes a difference.
Water: We have lost water service for several hours at a time, but not lately. I have had plumbing problems in my unit, but it has been taken care of.
The water bill is cheap, I usually pay under $10 a month.
Maintenance: The maintenance guys have been extremely helpful and courteous. They have taken care of repairs promptly. When I experienced problems with my heater, he stayed after hours fixing the problem; he made sure it worked before leaving.
Office Staff: I rarely go to the main office, but the times I have interacted with them, they have been professional and respectful. Any time I have requested a repair, it has been handled in a timely manner.
Location: This is a great location, its a step away from shopping and major highways. A little over a mile from the Arboretum.
I do not use the pool or gym facilities so I cannot comment on that.
I read some of the previews comments and they make it sound like cars are broken into daily and the mail is violated regularly. I'm sorry for the person who got broken into his truck so many times, he must be leaving an incentive in it. I drive a fairly new luxury vehicle and I have not been broken into, and my mail has not been violated. Different people have different experiences. I have friends that live in high end apartments and this kind of stuff still happens.
I hope this information is helpful.

My truck got broken into and, no, there was no "incentive" in it. Do you also believe that rape victims are at fault b/c they gave their attackers "incentive"? What a moronic thing to write. Get back to work now, troll.

my car got broken into last year and nothing was done about it and since then ive noticed like 12 cars with broken windows. The good thing is they arent stealing anything that i know of. they just like to smash the windows out. That pisses me off so i bought a gun and i do my own patrolling. if i catch them they are going to be in a world of hurt cause i wont think twice about putting one in their leg
