Actually a 0 Star Property

I wish I could give this place 0 stars because of how awful it truly is. Every other issue posted by people on here is 100% true. They have massive water issues with back ups into apartments and leaks, constantly being turned off. I experienced that in both my tub as well as constant flooding issues through my washer/dryer combo (which also destroyed $500+ worth of clothing).

Place started flooding up through the floors as well with rain right before I cut my lease and moved. If you have a 1...
bedroom - make sure your AC doesn't sound like a train and is located in your bedroom (?) of all places.

Apartment itself had peeling paint, terrible smells, and poorly installed/fixed issues. The floor itself with move-in was installed with rocks under it that I had to dig out. Holes in the wall covered with chicken wire.

Big issue with mold as I found in the AC and bathroom as well. I showed them pictures and contacted them on multiple occasions about it and was told in a very condescending manor that I was just 'upset.' They truly don't care.

Communication was impossible with them, never answered emails. The only way I was able to get them to respond was a BBB complaint where they agreed to waive my outstanding balance from the termination fee. They then however decided to also send that over to a collection agency so now we get to go through that whole litigation drama. Heed the reviews from people, they aren't lying.

MOVING OUT

We have no problem with the women in the office, but maintenance is pathetic.

Worst Apartment EVER

The women inside the office are truly incapable of critical thinking, simple procedures, and lack intelligence. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this apartment complex by far the worst I have experienced, unfortunately. Dirty environment, bugs everywhere. Save yourself!

Stay Away!!!

Poorly managed apartment complex. Rare if someone answers the office phone. Takes over a week for simple maintenance requests to be addressed. Garbage that we are suppose to leave out after 7:00 pm is all over the parking lots. We're always dragging cheap landscaping shells into our apartment. Dumster always full and stinks when getting mail from mailboxes at the dumpster. Exit gate always damanged. Maintenance low and rent is high and keeps going up. You have to pay for everything they say... they offer Can't wait to leave!!!

Terrible management

Lived there for 4+ years. Mold in the unit, bathroom tile and tub peeling, promised by management to fix for 2 years, never happened. Gym with no AC working, no one cares. Drastically raised rent every year and when I eventually moved out, they withheld my security deposit and changed extra for leaving items in the apt which I didn’t.
