Moved in December of 2019, around eight months ago at this time. Leased one of the larger, one…read morebed/bath units, 663 sq ft, for $850 a month. A little expensive, but the location and in-unit washer/dryer made it acceptable.
The grounds are well kept and attractive enough, until you get to the second floor breeze-way, which is filthy. Not trashed out, thankfully, just coated in dirt and grime.

The unit I moved into was considerably older and more run down than the demo unit. Carpet in the living room and bedroom were clean enough along with the faux wood vinyl flooring.
Outlets were not in the best of shape, some crooked or ill-fitting. Counter top vinyl in the kitchen was peeling a bit around the sink. Deadbolt in the front door was smashed and wouldn't turn. AC would heat, but wouldn't cool.
Water in the kitchen and bathroom faucets can take two to three minutes before they start to warm. Have to keep a pot in the back of the fridge to catch the perpetual dripping.

The bright, shiny, polished appliances in the kitchen? Pretty sure mine are from the Reagan administration. No faux granite countertops. And no microwave in the unit as shown in the photos, I had to purchase my own.

Faucet in the tub doesn't fit correctly and touch the wall, leaving a hole around the pipe. Similar with the shower head. And there's water dripping from the ceiling drain in the tub. I live on the top floor, so that's a little disturbing. And as it's not fitted correctly, one night about a month ago, the faucet went flying off while I was showering and went straight into my shin.

Have to manually reset the toilet every time I use it, since the stopper in the tank is disintegrating and won't go back into place on its own.
And then there's the water that's coming in all over the place, primarily along the back wall (kitchen and bathroom). Flooring is damp in the same areas, every single night. Bathroom, kitchen...even in the living room. And that's not vinyl flooring, that's carpeted.
Now imagine that for six months straight. I don't want to know what's growing under there by now. The floor has become so warped in some areas that it literally slopes now. That's not an exaggeration. My leveling tool shows a four degree incline. The vinyl is peeling apart and floorboards are starting to separate from the baseboard now.
Six months is how long it's been since I first reported the problems. After two months went by, I realized they'd forgotten about it, and contacted them again. That was four months ago. I've been patient and understanding due to the corona virus. But it's become clear they've forgotten about it...again.
They did remember to raise the rent on the unit by $125 a month though, making it $975 now.
(About a month after I moved in, the facility changed ownership, which may be why there are no reviews prior to mine. Owner is Legend Asset Management.)
(Update...)
Found this above the ceiling a couple days back while changing the filter for the AC unit. No clue what it is.

Electric bill literally doubled in the space of two months. One guy, living alone, 660 sq/ft apartment. I keep it at 75 during the day. When I first mentioned it to the office staff, the staff suggested it was the electric company raising their rates. That's a hell of a price hike, but I checked anyway. Nope. It was usage, plain and simple. They then suggested maybe it was partly due to working from home and all the heat my PC was generating. A laptop. (See attachments)
Oh, and the vinyl flooring they fixed a few weeks ago is already peeling again.
(Another update 9/12 - The Fridge)
The video below is of the replacement fridge they gave me two days ago. Not sure how this fits the definition of premium upgraded appliances. Or even acceptable ones.

(Another update 10/05 - Service Requests & Grime)
After getting an email from the Leasing Office about a service request being completed and if there were any problems, contact the Leasing Office. So I responded to the email, only to have it kicked back as an invalid email address. And yes, checked the original email, there is no "Do not reply to this..." note in it. Basically....they don't want to hear about it if a service request goes wrong? (See photos)
The filth and grime that coat the second floor levels continue even after they "cleaned" them. I know because I watched when the guys came up, grabbed my neighbors broom he keeps outside his door, and brushed off the rail with it. I decided to see if it was just older, stained wood they couldn't do anything about but...no. See what I was able to do in a minute with a Wet One:

And the floors for good measure:
