I absolutely hate living here!!! I don’t know what I was thinking renewing my lease for another year. My water is currently shut-off for about the 20th time this year! I don’t own any pets but there are cats that come and urinate and poop right in front of my door EVERYDAY!! The staff will not help me at all!! My laundry was stolen from the laundry room about a week ago and nothing was done about it. I feel like they could have at least put out a note or something considering my uniforms were also stolen. I will be breaking my least and I don’t care how much it cost me.

After living here for one month I already have quite a few things to say about this complex. First off, the area itself and being on the east side of town is wonderful. I feel very safe and the complex is full of mostly young professionals, as they dont allow students. That being said, when you apply to live here, they dont give you your unit number until a week or less before your move in date. My roommate and I requested a second floor unit in phase II, and got a first floor unit in phase I. I understand they cant accomodate everyones wishes, but this was already a let down. Now the renovated units (I think they are renovating all old units as people move out) are nice enough. You get new countertops and appliances and wood floors and light fixtures, but if youre on the first floor beware the floor is right on top of concrete. I have never had any problems with my knees (Im also only 26) and my knees start hurting as soon as I start walking around my apartment barefoot, so I had to get supportive house slippers to wear all the time. Be prepared for lots of bugs/mosquitos/spiders/centipedes. There are lots of woods and trees within and surrounding the complex, so the mosquitos are horrible. So far I have only found small spiders and mosquitos in the apartment, but I have previously lived in complexes that are more open so the mosquitos are hella annoying. I have also been warned of keeping an eye out for snakes. I havent seen any yet, but have heard about them from multiple people. I cant speak for every unit, but in my first floor unit the rain blows in all over our front porch area and water stands so if you get packages the bottoms get soaked unless ups puts them in a bag, and our front doormat stays wet constantly from retaining water as there isnt good drainage. Now for maintenance. After one month of living here we have had to put in requests for clogged bathroom sinks, one stove eye not working, the door to the washer/dryer area sticking and coming off the track, and a leak in the bathroom sink. For the latter two issues, I called to report them on a Friday. The following Wednesday they were still not taken care of, so I called again. (Keep in mind, at least the leaky sink should be considered something to fix right away). Currently it is the following Friday and they still havent been fixed yet. You have to call the front office to put in a request, and sometimes it takes ten calls before they even answer. One positive is that the complex is very dog friendly and inexpensive (at least for a two bedroom) compared to nearby places. cable is included in the rent, except its actually a $40 a month charge that they add to your rent, and you cant opt out. If you have Verizon wireless your cell service sucks in this area. The walls arent super thin, but as in most apartments you can sometimes hear your upstairs neighbors, but I have never heard my next door neighbors which is good. Another plus is they dont tow since you dont need a parking pass, so guest parking is convenient. Overall I dont hate it here, but right now I definitely do not want to renew my lease next summer. I have previously almost always lived in places with private landlords, which have always been better experiences than I have had so far here.

Very poor management. Don't expect maintenance service. Pool is treated as public. Water disconnected twice per month at least for repairs. Nice location and amenities as long as you don't need them to do anything.

100% over priced. In the mere two months Ive stayed there the flooring has to be replaced, kitchen cabinets repaired, leaky kitchen sink fixed, the toilet wouldnt stop running, insulation sucks so the power bill was insane.... the renovated apartment Im living in is a joke for the amount of money they charge monthly. 2500$ to get the heck out and it will be the only time this place wasnt a waste of money. Cant wait to be done with this place.
