Warning ??

Warning ?? This is the worst experience I've ever had with an apartment complex. The rent says $1350 but after all of the hidden fees you're paying more like $1700 and not only that they will take you to court over $100 just to getā€¦Ā See More >

      This place is like hell. AC units fell down in summers. Heater goes down in winter and when reported. Management just do little fix but doesn't do permanent resolution. Apartments are out of date along with appliances. Worst place I have live till nowā€¦Ā See More >

        This place has gone so far downhill itā€™s pathetic. Paper thin walls where you can hear everything in the other apartments. Maintenance is lax and never follows through if there is a problem. You have to basically do it yourself maintenance. The parking lot andā€¦Ā See More >

          Both maintenance and leasing office staff make promises to fix or do something and then they don't follow through. I'm going to have to fight in court because I'm breaking my lease and finding a more suitable home! Don't move here unless you don't careā€¦Ā See More >

              After living here for almost a year, we cannot wait to move! The apartments are extremely over valued and you do not get your money's worth. While the gentlemen who work maintenance are very nice, the turn around time for service requests are ridiculous. We'veā€¦Ā See More >
