The owner is a slum lord in my opinion because despite the 2,000 rooms he owns in several locations and states and the big bucks he makes, he has a evil corporate office that never refunds your deposit on move out, despite doing a walkaround with their maintenance guys and getting a perfect report, they charged us for a new carpet, because of normal wear and tear. They forfeited our entire one months deposit and instead added another $300 to it with quick letters threatening us with legal action and sending non-payment to collection.

You can get better apartments for the money, it is clean and well kept on the outside but it is old and terrible on the inside, the walls are thin, appliances are ancient and cheap and they have a convenient website to request maintenance online, which is convenient, but otherwise the main office never....I repeat never answers the phones....so dont bother ever calling them.

The worse thing about the place is the really cheap quality of fixtures and appliances, they are really old. Ovens are the old style electric without a glass front to check the contents, no timer, just plain jane. There is no microwave, you have to buy your own. The patio is useless as its too tiny to be useful for anything but one person, two max.

Management has changed about 3-4 times within a year, there is a new face in the office everytime I have gone there and the last manager was downright insolent, rude, totally incompetant about her job and when I went in a resident was yelling at her for something.

Their towing policy is strict, so beware and you have to drive 50 miles to pick up your car, we had ours towed from our appointed spot because I forgot to replace the parking tag, my fault, but cost me $100 and a 2 way drive to way past Richmond's ghetto downtown district to recover it.

They recently removed the free water tap to wash renters cars, instead installed a coin operated wash charging 75 cents a wash.

They have an inadequate and tiny playground for kids, the gym is tiny with 3 cardio and a couple of weight machines, the pool is decent, management does a good job maintaining the grounds, which are clean, and the area is well lit.

This place is fine for couples, but would not recommend for families, although there are quite a few families, there is a shopping center across the street but its really expensive which is to be expected around here.

This is one of the worst people I have ever dealt with when it comes to lying, they lie about everything, and they will drive you crazy upon checkout.

Please don't take their word for the advertised square footage, verify it yourself, it was at least 200 sq ft smaller in our case.

Its smaller than what they tell you as the rooms were designed by monkeys because you can't arrange furniture any which way you try. We could barely fit our queen bed in the master bedroom and add a 5 drawer chest...thats it, and the living room is wider than it is long, so you can only use two ends of the room and have to fiddle with the TV setup to be able to open the door to the patio and have space to move around....arrrggghhhhh!!!!!!

The toilet seats are pretty small as I am not fat, butt at 6' 1" tall can barely fit on it, the sinks are ridiculously small and splash water on the floor even with the best care washing hands or face and reach somewhere between my knees and waist.

Then we have 3 AC units placed strategically right next to the side window in the master bedroom, so when we have the window open to let a light breeze in and someone else upstairs decides its getting warm turns their AC on, the noise seems as if the AC unit was in our bedroom. So we have to shut the window which blocks the cross-ventilation. What a dumb place to place 3 AC units, right next to a window.

There are doggy poop receptacles everywhere but beware walking on grass, not everyone picks up after them, there are college kids now moving into some apts and i have complkained about noise and broken beer bottles.

If you enjoy dealing with a rude staff, a criminaly run corporate office that wont return your deposit and who will charge you for extras when you leave and threaten you if you even dare try to ask an explaination and never return calls, then go ahead and sign the dotted lines.

BTW I dont believe any of the recent positve posts, I can guarantee you they have been writtem by the mgmt or someone associated with them.

I think the layout is great and my queen sized bed fits nicely. I use my second bedroom as an office because I work out of my home.
