***4 MONTH UPDATE***
Great location and helpful staff--but ongoing security concerns and inconsistent management practices have made what should be a pleasant experience frustrating.
I had a very positive leasing experience initially, thanks to Dwane, who was professional and responsive. Giana, Rich, and Dennis were also consistently helpful and courteous.
The location is a major plus--close to great food options (a big win for me as a foodie), as well as essentials like Costco, Walmart, Target, Safeway, and Bel Air--all within a few miles and easy to access.
However, there is an ongoing and acknowledged security issue. Unhoused individuals have been able to access the property, including vehicles and the package room, resulting in thefts. While security is present, patrols are not dedicated to the property and instead cover a broader area, which appears to limit effectiveness.
My experience after move-in became more challenging when working with Tyler, the leasing manager. While intermittently responsive, there were consistent issues with clarity and follow-through. Lease provisions were cited in ways that did not appear applicable--for example, construction-related clauses were referenced in response to in-unit appliance issues after move-in. In other instances, policies were referenced or enforced that I was unable to locate in the lease or official community guidelines, even after requesting clarification.
I was also asked to provide footage from my personal Ring camera without clear policy support. During a separate in-person interaction, when I stated I was documenting (or "clocking") how my concerns and management practices were being handled, Tyler mimicked the gesture, altered his tone, and made a facial expression that came across as dismissive, which detracted from what should have been a professional discussion.
I also noticed a pattern in communication timing that raised concerns. On two occasions, I received outreach from the leasing office shortly after Tyler had been in proximity to my unit. In both instances, communication came through Giana, with Tyler stepping in if questions arose. While this may be coincidental, the timing made interactions feel reactive rather than based on a clear, consistent process.
To be fair, a temporary accommodation for my animal was granted while I worked on obtaining formal documentation, which I appreciated.
The handling of my refrigerator and grocery reimbursement added further concern. Although communication was ongoing, it involved repeated back-and-forth without a clear or timely resolution.
There are also transparency concerns. A community post I submitted about gas charges was not approved, despite the topic directly relating to lease terms and resident billing. This raised questions about how information that could affect multiple residents is communicated.
Overall, while the property benefits from a great location and strong support staff, inconsistent communication, unclear policy application, and ongoing security concerns made the experience more difficult than it needed to be.
Until management practices and security concerns are addressed more consistently, it's difficult to fully recommend this property. read more
