Its been a rollercoaster but mostly decent. Its expensive for what you get though. The staff is always nice but other residents can be a pain sometimes. Apartment living i guess. Parking is not great since others dont follow rules. The gate is really just a pain more than a benefit. Im not sure of a solid solution though. I love the layout and where im at but like i said i feel they are overpriced just like everything else.

I rent a studio apartment. The property was built in 1974. The owners of this property charge far too much for what you get! This place needs an overhaul done on it's plumbing. My thermostat controller doesn't work properly. The property always looks trashed because of messy tenants and grounds keepers not keeping it clean. This year, they have added utilities costs to our total rent payment. I feel this is absurd considering that I am mostly never at home because of my job. I can go on and on about what's wrong with this property.

There is a lot that needs to fixed. Too much, I think. There are too many people that don’t pick up after their huge dogs. Perhaps there should be a weight limit on dogs, or really give out fines for people who don’t pick up after their pets instead of just saying you will. People also move out in the middle of the night, leaving tbeir trash everywhere. I’m looking for another place to live. Somewhere with an elevator.
