This place was, and still is even after moving out, a complete nightmare. I was so excited to move into what was advertised as a "quiet and peaceful" community with great amenities, but I truly wish I had never put my time and effort into moving here.
From the moment I received my keys, problems started. The front door looked like it had been previously broken into and patched with wooden pieces. There was dirt throughout the apartment, dirty cabinets, and major water damage. I found a large stain on the wall and carpet that later caused even more issues for almost half of my stay. Overall, the unit was in very poor condition at move-in.
A few months after moving in, most of the amenities were taken away -- no more pet wash station, no coffee bar (one of the main reasons we chose this place), and barely any community events. What we expected to be a peaceful place turned into a daily nightmare.
The building construction is extremely poor. The water damage came from the third floor and caused serious mold issues inside my unit. It took months for management to even look into it. During this time, my children and I became very sick from living in these conditions. There was no option to transfer units, no hotel offered during repairs, no rent discount -- absolutely nothing. Just stressful calls and unprofessional communication.
There is also no privacy. You can hear full conversations from neighboring apartments and hallway noise constantly. Outside noise is just as bad. Daily activities from neighbors were loud and extremely frustrating.
On top of all this, the common areas were poorly maintained. There was dog poop everywhere, which made walking around the property disgusting and unsafe, especially for kids. The front gate was constantly broken, creating both safety and access issues. Landscaping was never properly maintained -- the grass was always extremely high and looked neglected.
I reached out to management multiple times, and nothing was ever done. I went through all of this while pregnant, caring for a toddler and two children who were at health risk. There was zero peace of mind.
I paid a full month's rent as a deposit, and now I'm being told I'll receive less than half due to "repairs" and cleaning fees. On top of that, it has been three months since move-out and I still haven't received my deposit check.
This has been one of the most stressful living experiences of my life. I strongly do not recommend this place to anyone, especially families.
