This complex seems great on the outside, and is not too bad on the inside but not worth the price in my opinion.

Great Clubhouse, nice staff,pool is great, equipment in workout room was nice but is very quickly falling apart and nothing seems to be done about it. only 1 of the 3 treadmills have been working for at least a month now.
This is a nice area of town and close to alot of good places. I have not had any bug problems as others have described.

I do agree the floor and ceiling are very very thin this is one of my biggest complaints. Although I have never heard anything thru the walls, I am constantly hearing my upstairs neighbor walk across the ceiling and the downstairs neighbor blasting his music. They do have townhomes in which you would not have anyone above or below you, but I think they are ridiculously overpriced.

Neighborhood is pretty safe, but the gate has only worked maybe 20% of the time I have been there (about 8 months). I have seen several cars broken into. One just happened last week and it was the car right next to mine. And surprise surprise the gate has not been closed for over a month. I believe residents should be compensated with money off rent for everday the gate does not work as this is one of the reasons I chose this place. Maybe then they would be quicker to fix it.

Parking hasn't been too much of an issue in my building. I think the parking spaces are plenty wide and depending on the time I get home I can usually get right in front.

UPDATE: I moved out after purchasing a house, my lease was up anyway. They are trying to charge me for things that are not mine. They told me they had pictures, and I said great send them to me and if I see the damages I will pay you, it has been 6 months and still no pictures. This is now on my credit and I am fighting it because I know it is not something I did. They are claiming pet damages and I never even had pets. I can't believe that they can get away with charging things that they have no proof of, I even requested a walk through when I moved out and they said 'we don't do that'.
