        This place has gone down hill since 2017 and the woman in the office is extremely rude and nasty. Will be relocating asap. Do not recommend anyone to move here. Maintenance is also terrible and trash and litter/ graffiti are all over the grounds daily.

          These townhomes are good until you need something fixed from maintenance. Everything that has broken down in my apartment has never been fixed in a timely manner. I've had no ac in the summer for 2 weeks no oven for a 1 month(still waiting for… See More >

              This apartment claims several things on their website and in literature available in the management office. First there is a 24 hour business center with internet, a 24 hour fitness center, a sparkling pool, playground and beautiful green space. Okay, the access to the business and… See More >

                  I moved in about 2 months ago and it has been the worst renting experience of my entire renting history. I wish I would have read the reviews prior to moving in and I am definitely going to make sure I read them going forward… See More >

                    They are now accepting some Section 8 tenants / voucher programs. If one of the occupants has a health issuses. It is good to spread these people around so they get to live in the same place as others. Everyone gosta have a place.

                            The properties are very well maintained, with the exception of the many many stray cats running around. The management tackles any issues promptly, and they are pleasant to work with. One of them is sometimey, but I've gone without issue. The inside is spacious,… See More >
