            Do not move in here. You will end up paying a fortune, be kept up by loud college students, and probably step in lots of dog poop. Do not be fooled by the upscale veneer--the outside of the complex is gorgeous, well-landscaped, and equipped withā€¦Ā See More >

                  The inside of the apartment is quite nice but definitely not worth the headache. Multiple car break ins, a car stolen.... Management Team is less then helpful. We have someone who smokes in their apartment next to us and our apartment now smells of smoke...ā€¦Ā See More >

                    The place is not bad...generally comfortable...unless it snows...then they really struggle to clear the roads around the complex, mostly because they don't seem to have more than one person to do it much of the time. And you're out of luck if you parkā€¦Ā See More >

                          All the other negative reviews are true about the noise and the college kids. I saw the reviews and decided to go for this place anyway, since it was close to Cigna/MetLife (workplace) and I've spent 85% of my post-undergrad life on college campusesā€¦Ā See More >
