I REALLY wanted to LOVE THIS PLACE. The location is fantastic, the apartment itself has an amazing fireplace, is spacious and comfortable, and on the surface, it feels like a great fit. I renewed my lease because I believed management when they promised the issues I had since the day I moved in last winter would be addressed.
Unfortunately, the heat has been a problem for two years now. Last year, every time I opened a work order, the tech left me small space heaters instead of fixing the system. The issue only "resolved" when the weather warmed up, not because anything was repaired. That tech was eventually fired, which says a lot.
Before renewing, I spoke directly with Jake (assistant manager), who assured me they would partner with maintenance to ensure the heat issue was finally fixed, and if needed, bring in an HVAC technician. That never happened. Jake has ignored every email I've sent since my heat began underperforming again. Jess (manager) also ignored the emails I sent last week, though she did call once to say the supervisor was on the way. The supervisor confirmed the system isn't working properly and should be cleaned out. He told me that if it's still not working afterward, they'll replace it, as he confirmed it is an OLD furnace. Yet nothing has been done. I've had an open work order on this complaint since November 11th, and the supervisor closed it on December 8th (without doing anything) with the note, "unit needs cleaned but is running." My heat was set to 74° and is currently at 66°. It is currently 24° outside and feels like 18°. This is insane.
To make matters worse, when an HVAC technician came out for my AC, they told me the system needed to be replaced. I relayed this to management, but they still refused to act.
It's now December, and I'm forced to use my own heaters to stay warm while paying full rent. Walking into my living room shouldn't require full clothing because of inadequate heat. The apartment itself is nice, but management's lack of urgency and communication is unacceptable.
I've added two pictures here. The first shows today's thermostat set to 74°, but the room temperature is only 66°. The second is from last January, thermostat set to 72°, but the room was just 58°. The issue was never resolved. It just got warmer outside.
If you value reliable heat and responsive management, think twice before renting here.
Update: Conditions have not improved. I originally gave 2 stars, but I am now lowering my rating to 1 star.
Despite management's promises, the heat in my apartment continues to underperform. On December 14, 2025, during the first snow storm of the season, my thermostat was set to 74°, but the room temperature was only 62°. I submitted another work order that day for "Heating - Blowing Cold Air." This is the same issue I reported last month, last week, and last winter (when my thermostat showed 58° while set to 72°).
The maintenance history shows multiple heating requests marked "Work Completed," yet nothing was actually fixed. I have been forced to rely on space heaters for two winters while paying full rent. Management has ignored emails, closed work orders without repairs, and failed to bring in an HVAC technician despite acknowledging the furnace is old and not working properly.
The location and apartment itself are great, but management's lack of urgency and accountability makes this place unsafe and unacceptable. If you value reliable heat and honest communication, look elsewhere. I've attached a picture of today's thermostat as well. read more
