    By far the worst place I’ve lived

          It was a rough start initially, but after communication was cleared up, I was able to be accommodated properly. I would say since moving in, I have not had any issues. I was able to get the service expected as a future resident.

            Not the experience I hoped for. Apartment is nice, but the staff is struggling. Work orders from move in not completed, or even scheduled to my knowledge. Overall, it's a nice place. Just need to get the basics taken care of.

                                                The community is quite well maintained . The only issue I have is the trash at the dumpster . People from outside the complex dump of items they should take to the dump. That needs to be addressed !!!

                                                  I've rather enjoyed living here. The parking can kind of be tight sometimes because people park there vehicles they are not using in spaces nearest the doors to the apartments. It would be nice to be able to park closer to my own apartment.
