Nice place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management answer emails and try to be responsive to issues .
Cons:
As it is a big building sometimes can get dirty at the lobby , laundry room is too small and very few machines last but not least . I don’t feel safe at all in the property. It is a gated community however I notice that the gates are always open, the intercoms doesn’t work sobrepõem waiting outside just to find the building doors open is constantly an issue . A gated community where there gates are always open should be called broken gated community with homeless inside digging in to the trash cans.
Advice to owner:
Safety in the building please . Fix the intercoms and broken gates

Run far away from this place!!!!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Didn’t like anything about this place! Was so happy to move!
Cons:
This place is disgusting! Roach infested! Disrespectful neighbors! Laundry room was unsafe. You have to bring something to defend yourself. Made constant complaints to the management office and they wouldn’t do anything to help the situation. They let things get out of hand to where it became a dangerous situation to live in. You have to constantly call the cops because their “fake security” doesn’t do anything. I wish I would have listened to all the bad reviews because they are all real! Just run far from this place so you don’t get trapped in a nightmare.
Advice to owner:
You have so much to fix in this building! I suggest you get a whole new management team including the security department!! You should be ashamed at how the tenants are treated. I shouldn’t have had to call the cops on my neighbors for not feeling safe in my own home. Shame on you guys for not taking care of matters. I always warn people not to move here. It’s disgusting!!

Loved here too long
Former Tenant
Pros:
The owners tried to fix the missing package issue bu installing the package lockers but the room is a mess and the lockers don’t always work. It’s one step in the right direction but still hard to retrieve packages.
The idea of being a gated community is great but the gates are always broken
The idea of being a gated community is great but the gates are always broken
Cons:
I’ve had an AC leaking into the apartment causing damage to the wall and the floor and I’ve reported it several times over the years. Each time they send someone to pack the wall but never to fix the issue with the leaking AC.
In the bathroom if you don’t have a window you will get mold on the walls over time because the fan/vent does not work.
The gates never work and the buzzer is often broken so you have to go downstairs to get your deliveries or let your guests in.
The package room is a mess.
The lobby could stand to be cleaned more than once a day.
There is often a puddle of water in the laundry room

Advice to owner:
The rent you’re changing is pretty up there and the amenities available should reflect the costs. It has not been enjoyable to live here long term.
