            My experience has been horrible. I had to hound the leasing office to get approved and signed. It took 2 months to get my dishwasher repaired. The phone system doesn't route to security. The residence service agents are highly unprofessional in both dress and behavior.

                              Community always has trash every where. No one cares about the environment, getting anything done is a slow process, and no free visitor parking. Yes, the rent is cheaper than other places, but think - is it worth it?
