this place might look okay from the outside, but it is a complete dump! there are huge holes in the ceilings in the hallways. stains all over the carpet in the hallways. packages get stolen, broken down cars in the parking lots that don't move for months when parking is already scarce to begin with, cockroaches big time, 90% of the garages flood every time it rains. this place is an over-priced hell hole to live. the buildings smell terrible half the time. parking lot floods every time it... rains. people from the complex across the street let their kids come over and terrorize the property. vehicles being broken into and stolen. for what they are charging to live here, you would expect more. there are way better places to rent for the same money every month. i also think that they are price gouging the water/sewer charges. they are charging almost $70 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment, when i've asked several homeowners and their water bills are not that much. each apartment doesn't have it's own water meter, so they just guess how much to charge you each month. no one cleans up their dog poop either. there has also been a murder on the property! you now have to pay some stupid liability charge every month even if you have your own renter's insurance policy, they still make you pay it. this place will promise you the world and not deliver any of it. take your money elsewhere.

Friendly Atmosphere
We stopped by the other day as we were driving around. The office staff was great. They really took the time to show us around and explain the renting process in detail. We will be back in the summer to call this our new home.

Dirty and horrible management
Honestly the worst place I ever lived. When I first moved in multiple doors didn’t work, the garbage disposal was broken and plug ins were broken. Management didn’t fix half the things I complained about but for some reason 2 months after moving over I’ve still not received my $200 deposit. I left a nice amount of nail holes from pictures but I know that couldn’t possibly come up to $200. Oh and beware the fake positive reviews on this place. Save your money and time and find somewhere else
