Loved our time
Former Tenant
Pros:
Interior of our apartment was always clean because we kept it that way never saw roaches or pests (except the occasional bug). Honestly pretty responsive from the property managers and low rent. Actually really enjoyed living here for the most part!
Cons:
Dead roaches in the hallway, though it’s gotten better and didn’t really affect me since they weren’t in my apartment. Neighbors can be inconsiderate leaving things in the hallway during move out and it won’t get cleaned up unless you ask someone to do it.
