Nope.

Just no. I’ve lived here for a year now and just no. I’ve had a.. loud, violent neighbor the whole time and not the cops, security or the office staff has been able to do anything. An entire wall of my studio apartment shakes and… See More >

    Worst Apartments over $1,500/ mo

                                    WORST customer service/management I have ever seen. Easily the rudest ladies in the leasing office and would NEVER rent from them just on that fact alone. There are much nicer apartments in the area so keep looking!
