I love my apartment size and price, the layout, and the amount of storage is amazing. I just don't like that the residents don't keep the parking lot clean, there are a lot of cats, no dog park, and none of the dog waste stations are taken care/ or work properly.

It’s been good for my first place, but there are definitely some things that could be improved, such as bug control, trash being taken out on time, and maintenance coming at more convenient times. Other than that, it’s been alright.
