2008-10-28T10:45:03-06:00

From AmericanGolf2002: I would like to start out and say that this place was my very first apartment and by far the greatest experience I have had.

The Pointe: Rent Too High for Off-Campus Housing (Recommending!)

2007-12-12T13:05:22-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The maintenance is quick to respond. The seals on the doors and windows however are not energy efficient therefore the cost is more then suggested when I signed the lease.

2006-08-24T11:39:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When I moved in, our apartment was disgusting. They did no cleaning (although I'm sure they charged the previous tenants).
