My stay is wonderful so far
All the staff I have talked to have been very respectful and helpful. I am enjoying all the community amenities and my apartment is great. I have no problems with my apartment and the complex itself is beautiful. I just got to my apartment a couple weeks ago but I am absolutely enjoying it so far

The apartments are spacious but our appliances are constantly breaking down. The biggest problem is that our vehicles are constantly being broke into. They send out messages to keep them locked but that hasn't stopped whoever is doing it. We have called the office and asked for cameras or an up in security (that we pay for) but we never get a response.

Despite high increasing rent when it comes to fixing apt problems they're on it. But I hear from other tenants that aren't happy with office management I'm not in the office enough to see their concerns.

I've loved living here! The staff is so helpful and accommodating, and they host awesome events. Work orders are handled timely, and the grounds always look so beautiful! I love the layout and features in my home.

This community is very quiet. I have never had any issues with screaming kids, loud music or barking dogs from within the complex. As someone who works nights this is important so I can sleep during the day. Location is great as well, you don't really have to leave the powers area for anything.

It is very expensive. That being said, the units are large and well maintained and the office and maintenance staff have been responsive and easy to work with. It is a great location yet still quiet. The only complaint I really have is that they do not enforce their rules requiring dog owners to pick up their pet's waste - even though they charge us for DNA typing to enable them to do so.

I have lived in this community since 2018. I feel safe in this community. I love my place, the windows, patio, details with baseboards and chair railing, light fixtures, appliances, amenities offered and grounds.

Not a bad place at all. Apartments are a good size, maintenance is friendly and will come quickly as needed, and it's always pretty clean. I'd love it if there was recycling and if they actually did something about all the car break-ins. Their email system is strange as I don't receive half the emails they send out but my husband does.

Some of the maintenance crew slacks off, they'll be on their phone the whole time they are in your apartment trying to fix something and wear their sunglasses because they think they are cool. Very unprofessional. The front office lacks communication. Oh, and I am sure they don't actually test your dog's poop and fine you because there is dog poop everywhere!

Maintenance has not been and issue as each issue is resolved in a timely manner. The only complaint is the amount of time the pools have been down for construction. The monthly amenities (breakfast, etc.) have been good.

My apartment is nice and spacious and I'm on the 3rd floor so I have vaulted ceilings which makes it seem bigger. I appreciate the community events. My biggest frustration is all the dogs running around off leash. My dog was attacked by a large dog on this property that was not leashed. The office addresses the issue by putting out a mass email to remind people of this but almost daily I see people with their dogs off leash. My dogs would like to run free too but I signed a contract and I try to be respectful. I have to be so careful to keep my dogs safe from dog owners that choose not to abide by the contract they signed.

The upkeep of the property has gone downhill since management has changed. It was a very nice place to live at first, but now they only focus on certain areas and leave other areas unkept. The management isn't always pleasant. In fact, they often make you feel like they shouldn't be bothered.

I really love living here. Beautiful views and very well maintained. The management is very micro managed and there are a lot of reminder emails but to be honest, I don't mind it because that is why the community is so beautiful. In regard to the office, I haven't had any positive or negative experiences with anyone usually they don't really talk to you unless you have a question and those interactions are usually quite quick. Not a big deal wither way. I really like the resident events and you can't beat the amenities....x2! the property is very quiet, even with the construction from the neighborhoods below. I recommend this property to anyone looking for a safe, clean, well maintained and cozy home environment!

Moving into this community was rushed, but I felt it was the best choice. Services that was initially available went away without notice. Communication is improving but sometimes late or absence. Maintenance crew is sharp when they are in your apartment fixing a problem or addressing a concern.

I love my actual apartment but the staff does not respond to concerns appropriately. I've lived here for almost 4 years and rent continues to increase without any changes to problems in the community. My heat has gone out every year in subzero temperatures and the problem has still not been fixed. The manager is helpful but you shouldn't have to speak to 8 different people about a problem for it to finally get to someone who can help you.

Overall, it's been a really good experience living here. The Maintenance group is fantastic and are quick to respond to any residence concerns. The Leasing office group is friendly and patient. Jasmine is knowledgeable. Mrs. Benner and Aubree and Jennifer work extremely hard to keep the complex in great shape like it is now.

Very well-maintained community with helpful staff. There are several amenities within the community events that set the neighborhood apart from some of the other apartment communities. If there is ever a maintenance issue, the staff are quick to respond.

I like the apartment. It is clean. The pool is great to use in the summer. It has been a long time since some of the amenities have been available for use due to remodeling. However, they are updating the community which is nice.

I like the amenities at the community. I like that its dog friendly and there are pet stations. I wish there were more areas to sit outside. The apartments get very cold during the winter months due to a constant breeze that enters in the apartment. I have called about this issue 3 times.

I enjoy living here and I feel very safe. My apartment is very nice and I've never had any major problems. The amenities are great and I love that it is so dog friendly and there are nice places to walk the dog especially now that the new buildings are there. The neighbors are very friendly!

There is a reason that these apartments are cheap (price). Horrible management. The apartments are pretty on the surface but then you look deeper and there is trash everywhere noone cares. Go elsewhere
