    My experience was ok for the most part. I like the way the apartments are built it just wasn't for me. They have a lot of rules and to me they pick who to enforce the rules on. Personally I never had any problems with the staff just tenets.

      For the most part it has been a pleasant experience, other than the fact that the ac/heater has not worked since we moved in, which has been problematic for the health of our household. Only other complaint, is that nothing was explained to us upon signing our lease, so a lot of things have been learned the hard way.

          So far it is nice and me and kids love the inside of our apartment and also the little park for my kids to play at is nice. I haven't had any problems so far living here and hope to keep it that way .

                  Overall I have had a fairly positive experience here. It was a little rough in the beginning due to a certain situation. However, it has gotten a lot better. The use of security has helped me feel more safe in the community.

                        It's beautiful new facility that faces some community development issues, but I'm grateful to have moved my family into a 3 bedroom apartment. It is lower income housing, so don't expect a lavish 4 seasons. All in all tho I'm extremely grateful, and will keep helping to build this community stronger and wiser. -Palme G.

                          Too much crime, not enough being done. I have some concerns . Noise complaints, there is a not well person, female, who seems to be under the influence who screams absurd things at late hours of the night, she also freely walks in and out of the gates, doesn't seem safe for kids to play outside, is more going to be done about safety of the residents or children? I'd like to start a neighborhood watch

                            Did not start out well. Staff is great, but the neighbors in our building (upstairs) are loud and disrespectful.i feel that the company needs to do better screening on tenants , especially background checks.

                              It's nice here and I'm lucky to be in a brand new place. They have a friendly staff. Plenty of room to move around. It's comfortable here not to noisy for as many people that live here. It's a place to call home.
