Renters beware! If you are considering making this your home I BEG you to read below and realize you are making a HUGE mistake! I am a current resident in this poorly run and unsafe complex. I would not recommend this place to my WORST emeny. Where should I start' The staff here, lets just say they must have been recruited from McDonalds or under the I-45 underpass, they are rude would not know good customer service if their life depended on it and treat you nice till you sign on the line and then it's like dealing with a bad in-law. They don't think anything is an emergency or should be attended to promptly besides going on their lunch break or being jerks. The maintenance well the people themselves are nice but the quality of work I would rather my 5 year old do the work themselves. When you call the "emergency maintenance line" you get to leave a message with your problem typically you need to call back about 5 times and in about 6 hours they will call and say there is nothing they can do till the a.m. I have called 5 times for the ceiling leaking, water pipes busted, the AC frozen up (In August) 3 times and had to wait till late the next day to get it rigged up. If your sex life is lacking move here you can hear your neighboors getting it on at all hours thru the paper thin walls. If you plan on living downstairs hope a 40lb midget lives above you and steps on their tippy toes or you will think you have godzilla as a neighboor. People let their animals run wild off the leash and defacate EVERYWHERE even in the driveways of other residents. The yard people come on Monday at around 7 a.m. and make several passes till around 3 p.m. so good luck sleeping on those days! If you value your car and whats in it then don't park it here I have seen MANY cars vandalized and things stolen and they love rims here on 4 occassions I have come out to see cars on cinder blocks with no rims or tires, one guy they were nice enough to put his truck on a jack instead how thoughtful of them. There is a Peeping Tom that frequents this area nightly I have personal caught him on 4 occassions. There has been 2 sexulal assualts of ladies right down from my apartment. And actual break in of apartments as well most recently on 2/4/2008 in the morning they said between 7 and 10 a.m. The gates here they sell you as helping with safety then when they are broken WEEKLY say they are not to ensure safety which is true but it sure helps to keep the local thugs from the rent by the week hotel out. Most recently the gate was broken for 4 weeks straight with "parts on order" I guess they come from Egypt''' You may get a good rate at first then your rent "has to have atleast a 5% increase" that is what they say. They lose your rent, don't pay your water when they should say you paid late and have to bring them the cancelled check to prove it otherwise they charge you "market rate" (which no on in their right mind would pay) and tons of fees. So in a nutshell: IF YOU VALUE YOUR BELONGINGS, YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY OF YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN YOUR CAR AND DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH A INCOMPETENT STAFF THEN BY ALL MEANS MOVE INTO THIS "HOOD". And on a final note if after reading this your still want your stuff stolen, car broken into and maybe be sexually assulated by the thugs that walk around here at all hours of the night in all black clothing and hooded sweaters then please know they will not give you the management companies contact info you can get it online thru alot of research but they will not respond to you either so GOOD LUCK! My best advice' Stay out of this waste of money. Also when all these bad things go on they never notify the residents so they look like a "safe place to call home" what a bunch of b.s. g-hKOS7s4Nq5n3hEIpHd

All of this is so so true....My check got lost and it went from $780 to $1250 that was due because of late fees. My lease is up in April and I will be moving. I will not deal with a company that have no regards for their tenants. This place is pretty, dont get me wrong, but dont let the look fool you. The printer and the internet goes down too frequent. The fax machine work every now and then. The movies in the media room/business center are out dated. No one ever uses the BBQ pits because their are bugs and spiders everywhere. My house is also infested with spiders. It grosses me out. The water has been shut off too separate times since I been here. And somes times it brown in the mornings. I have to let the water run, before I can even brush my teeth. Then the water company charges a flat fee of $10, sewer fee $4.00 trash fee $5.00 and then the usage of water can be anywhere $15-20. So your water bill can actually be $30-50. Its crazy. My car got broken into as well. Then management just said next time be more careful, you should check on your car thru-out the night. I'm so so gone. When something goes wrong, which usually does around here, management gives you the same line they give the other tenants, Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, but ummm... next time you should be extra carefully, or bring in your rent check, and dont use the drop box anymore. Their all idiots. I'm taking my $800rent elsewhere.
