Great floorplans and on-site staff

Raised our rent 40%, and insurance requirements make it really difficult to get anything delivered

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

2 years with mixed feelings

Pros

Very good front desk and supporting staff Large apartments with lots of storage and sunlight Great Location Lovely and convenient driveway

Cons

Super sucks! Didn’t see him for the entire 2 year period and was rude and unaccommodating on the day of move out Management is a bit too corporate Basement where gym, laundry, delivery room etc are located is terrible. Feels like you’re under a commercial building like a stadium not an apartment building
