The apartment had everything we needed (they even accommodated us with a more privately situated unit as our dog has never been in an apartment complex) but more importantly the staff here honestly cares about their community! I lived in many an apartment complex in my 20s and has never encountered one got fosters such a sense of community and honestly cares about their residents... even their temporary ones! Any need I had (dishwasher repair, package acceptance at the office, etc.) was handled immediately and followed up with me after completion to ensure I had no further needs. As my husband is immunocompromised, we were unable to participate in any of the monthly events that they offer however, they beyond events that they put on to bring the community together (yoga every week, bouquet making for Valentine's Day, trivia night with snacks, potting & painting, decorating a flower pot and planting a plant into it etc!) I've never experienced another apartment complex that even has these types of events much less puts so much thought into them! The dog park on property was clutch as our dog is not used to having to be on a leash all the time ... so having an area where she can romp around and play was amazing! They also have plenty of grassy areas to walk within the property and dog waste bag dispensers all over the place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and And cannot say enough about the staff , their communication, friendliness, and caring! 100% would stay here again in a heartbeat!

She has always been very responsive and makes herself available when needed. I only had 1 maintenance request ever and it was handled within 24 hours, called after work one day and they were at my door first thing the next day to repair and solve the issue. Grounds are always upkept and nice and they stay on top of things when there is snow on the ground not just clearing it when it falls but cleaning up more during the day when there is less cars in the lot. Everyone I've meet here is very friendly and nice. I couldn't ask for better neighbors or a place to call home. Apartment I moved into was freshly renovated, new cabinets, new counter tops, new appliances, new deck. If you're looking for a place to call home in the area you can't beat when they offer here.

This is a difficult review to leave. When we moved in 2018 we were excited -- family friendly…read morecommunity, knowledgeable staff, clean community, prompt maintenance responses and repairs -- all of that changed when the complex changed hands from Avalon to the Grove. The complex is now mostly college kids who rev their loud cars at all hours of the day or night and have loud raucous parties that will keep an infant awake. The front staff has not been consistent and does not appear knowledgeable at all. We asked a question and received 3 different responses; they seem friendly until you move out -- then they become adversarial when you question a host of unexpected charges. There's no prorated rent upon move out despite the 60 day notice of when move out occurs. They charge additional rent the next month even though the dates on the lease should have been covered with that month's rent. The community has nice landscaping but you have to watch your step as people do not clean up after their pets along the grass and sidewalks. Maintenance comes at their own timing. We understand that they're short-staffed, and when they come they complete the job, but it can take a few weeks before the request is addressed and completed. For the price of rent, it may be more cost effective to rent a house. The conditions of the apartment are not worth the price. The cabinets have veneer that peels off revealing particle board, the plumbing stinks, and the toilet plugs often despite nothing solid in the toilet. This is just a review of our experience. Despite our bad experiences there are 2 superstars which were the light here: Ana Nieves and Zef, the maintenance supervisor. We are grateful for them.

They dont renovate the apartment good its just covered up. My biggest problem is how you can hear your neighbors i live on the 1st floor. My neighbors are active at night and since they moved in since March i cant get enough of sleep on daily basis, a young couple who is really loud. They slam doors and walk really loud at 2am. They used to fight upstairs sometimes till 3 am it took the management to do something after i came to their office 4 times and called 2 times. it took almost 3 months for them to say something. i Asked to cancel my lease and they said they cant do it without me paying for fees its not fair because me and my wife do suffer from not sleeping. And people dont pick up after their pets so dont step on that grass and there was a shooting not long time ago inside the complex someone got shot in their car. Not Safe.. I cant wait to move out in March. They raised my rent after all of that of $55 WOW!!.

When our lease ended they found anything to charge us with, 50 DOLLARS, just for not wiping down the refrigerator which should be their job if new people are moving in. Told we HAVE to do a carpet cleaning so we hired people and paid 400 dollars, then at the final walk through they told us "it was a waste of time" because they were going to rip up the carpet anyways. Wasted 400 dollars and got charged 1920 even after having to pay a FULL MONTH rent even thought our lease only two weeks into the month. They are cheap, not nice people and we got charged with several small fees just because they found anything to complain about. I would not recommend it sadly.
