I have just left this apartment and I wanted to leave a review that honestly reflects what living here was like the short period we were here.
COCKROACHES: Yes there were many big and small cockroaches in our apartment despite how clean we kept it. However when we notified staff, they had said to dump bleach down the drain BUT ALSO sent people out right away to spray our entire apartment down to try and help. They seem like they really are trying to help with the cockroach situation but there's not much more they could've done.
MICE: The day we moved in, we noticed mice traps under the oven and mouse poop on the counters and in the cabinets. We never reported this because we have two cats and the issue went away pretty quickly from that.
SECURITY: There is NO security. Within the second month living here my car was broken into and I had over $1,000 worth of items stolen. The staff had notified me that a neighbor reported it and when I talked to the neighbor he had mentioned that there are people who try and break into cars EVERY single night. I was upset when they decided to upgrade the clubhouse that no one really seems to go to, instead of getting some sort of security. But, lesson learned. Make sure there is not a single thing in your car or else it will get broken into and there won't be anything anyone will be able to do about it. Also, the apartments are by businesses that are empty after hours and off of a main road, so there are a lot of wondering people. I have had to call the cops on some cracked out people shattering things and making a ton of noise late at night.
CONSTRUCTION: there was construction almost if not every week but they're trying to make the apartments look nicer so you can't complain there.
UPGRADES: As for upgrades, there really aren't any. So when the advertisements say "newly renovated" it really means "we painted over the old cabinets". However, the kitchen is a good size, and the fireplace is very nice as well. The washer and dryers are old but hey they work! Same with the kitchen appliances. I think, even in this market, it is a pretty pricey place for what you are actually getting in return but that seems to be with every apartment you look at in this area. I will say that the apartments are pretty big compared to other places though so I guess it equals out a little bit.
ANIMALS: the apartment is VERY animal friendly and service animal friendly. With that though comes people who are not cleanly and will leave their dog poop all over the place, as well as the smell of cat litter very strong in some areas.
OVERALL: The staff is friendly and very attentive. If you have a problem and let them know, they are going to fix it very fast which is hard to come by with landlords these days. The cockroaches are disgusting and they really need to get that issue fixed if they're going to continue to charge top dollar. (I know they're trying to though). Loud construction every now and again isn't that big of a deal when they're doing upgrades. But the worst thing I would say is the security. Especially with the prices they are charging, there needs to be better security. We are right off of a main road by businesses, there should at least be some cameras. Overall, it's not a bad place to stay if you're aware of what is here and I'm grateful for how much effort the staff puts into the people here everyday. read more
