Resident 2012 - 2014

NOT a good place to live. Please read this full review before deciding to move in here. Just moved out after living there for two years. It was an awful experience. My husband and I were great tenants - never late on rent, never reported, no issues whatsoever. We were quiet and kept to ourselves, kept our apartment clean, etc. The complex went downhill very quickly. There were several incidents in the complex, including one time when someone apparently attempted to set someone else's apartment on fire? I was recovering from radiation treatments for cancer when the fire marshall showed up at my door questioning all of the tenants! Not long after that, my husband's motorcycle was stolen out of the parking lot right in front of our apartment! Management didn't seem at all concerned. When we told them we no longer felt safe in our own home and asked if they could negotiate with us to break our lease, they were completely uncaring and said they did not negotiate on that and told us we'd need to pay nearly $1500 to break our lease TWO MONTHS early. Needless to say, we stayed for the rest of the lease. When we moved out, we deep cleaned the apartment and completely repainted. Since there was nothing wrong with the apartment, they tried every trick in the book to try to keep our deposits, including saying we hadn't paid our full rent a few months ago (we had, and had never received any notice stating that we hadn't) and that they'd given us a "discount" on our pet deposit. As for other issues, not a huge deal, as I knew this when I moved in, but there is also no central air conditioning. There is a unit in the wall that will only adequately cool/heat one room. Also, getting maintenance requests handled was pretty unreliable. The maintenance guys were great when they showed up, but twice I put in a maintenance request and never heard anything back or had anyone show up. I've seen several people mention roaches - one thing I can say is that we did NOT have any roaches. If you are considering living here, I would strongly advise against it. The complex is not safe and the management is uncaring.
