Very grateful to them, I went with my family to see some apartments and since we arrived you could see their professionalism, my sister is very indecisive and saw three apartments and the leasing Pedro was never altered or upset on the contrary he always gave us to understand that he wanted to help us, the apartments were very clean and large, he explained everything about the property and the rules, right there we applied and started the process, he took all my sister's information, in three days we had everything done, I also went with my sister for the move-in and he and his manager Vivian super attentive and happy for us. Everything was fast and happy. The truth is that I had heard bad reviews of the complex but they explained to us that they are a new team and I saw all the professionalism for everyone. The truth is that now I do recommend it because in price and treatment they are super good

Hey, the reviews are a fair assessment of the complex unfortunately management hasn’t had the best experience in hiring the right team until now. (They went thru managers that would steal and not take care of the property much less their tenants.) But now here’s a new property manager, Vivi, she doesn’t have a long time here but you can tell the difference. The property is slowly getting an uplift as it’s an older property so it has its issues but the maintenance unlike before, where we went over 3days with children in the apartment with no A/C in summer heat and 2 weeks with no hot water, stove not working, etc. now my A/C broke Sunday night, Monday morning Luis was at the apartment fixed the A/C and the tub. My stove had a problem, fixed. sorry I don’t take pictures of the bedrooms nice spaces, 1 of the bedroom we have a queen bed and dresser and we still have plenty of space and in the other we have a queen and twin bed, along with 3 dresses. And we still have plenty of space. Anyways, I can’t wait to meet and see new neighbors and kids playing outside again so I can finally send my kids out the house LOL.

I called the office and spoke to Nicole the leasing consultant,she gave me a tour of the one bedroom, I asked Nicole questions and she answered it honestly. I also asked about the application fee and how long the process would take, it didn’t take long at all it went according to your background we were approved, in a couple of days, I went back to the office to pay for the deposit to hold it Nicole guided me through the application, and well as making an account for the deposit.
