Saybrooke Apartments (formerly Archstone Saybrooke): Prior review done by Apartment Mgt Staff (Not Recommending)

2003-10-02T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-:
The "glowing" review by the prior person was done by the new apartment owners and managers trying to entice people to rent. Notice the "SWF" trying to create a sense of comfort for women.

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for two years - when I moved in, the rent was on the high side, but a year ago, they justified a ridiculous rent increase with the installation of a black gate around the property.
