I lived here for 3 years from 2021-2024 in a 2 bedroom. Some maintenance issues; sewage water backed up into the toilet and the tub, flooding the whole bathroom and carpet in the hallway. Maintenance came the same day and did fix the issue. The AC broke during the summer and flooded the closet in the apartment and left a mildew smell that never went away. It took about 2 weeks to get fixed, and maintenance left a fan in the apartment to air out the dampness. Appliances in the kitchen need to be trashed. The fridge leaked and I had to keep a container in the fridge to catch the water. The stove was old and rusted with holes in it. The countertops and cabinets were falling apart. In my 3 years there, the pools were never open once and I would not recommend anyone use the laundry room which has 6 washers for the whole complex, is not regularly cleaned, and is never locked so anyone can walk in. Roaches throughout the complex.
The apartment itself is very big with lots of closet space and a nice patio area. The bedrooms are a great size and can fit two twin beds if needed. The neighborhood is nice enough and I never had any neighbor issues. Maintenance was reliable but new management took over right at the end of my time there and was less responsive. The new management also did a horrible paint job on the apartments while increasing prices. overall, you get what you pay for so keep expectations low.
