    Great staff very helpful and responsive as well as friendly. The pool area is beautiful with a large salt water pool. The grounds are well maintained. The stairways and hallways however are not cleaned regularly.

        Services since 2023 have been a little disappointing. Pest control is inefficient after submitting a request to exterminate ants twice. Whatever product they use is ineffective. Painting unprofessional. A liking from my airconditioner (already fixed), left the walls around it very stained. After painting, it's… See More >

                    Highmark is notably worse than our previous management. From months of amenities being down, to excessive pet feces everywhere. It also doesn't seem they care as much personally.

                                      This place is going downhill rapidly. The management only seems to care about maximizing profit. This was a good place to live at one time, but not so much anymore. The rent keeps going up and the quality of service keeps going down.

                                          Its been ok. Lots of noise from multiple people living in upstairs apartment. Not enough parking due to everyone having a car. Trash compactor overflows constantly. *****************************+*++++++++++++++++

                                            Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am not sure this was placed in the correct property as we do not have an issue with parking nor does the compactor overflow. The property does have garages and we also have valet trash that sends us nightly pictures of the compactor. Please contact the office to talk about the review and address any concerns. Thank you- Maggie, Community Manager

                                            Not great. The office staff does not communicate very well. You send them emails and they dont respond. I will not be staying longer than my lease. If you I would like to follow up with my response you can reach me at
