do not move here !!!! , there’s been a roach problem for multiple residents in multiple buildings, stray dogs and cats inside of the apartment complex every day !!!! You tell the office they act like they don’t care ….this apartment complex has been going down hill ever since management has changed the new management act like they don’t care about thier residents when they report a problem, there attitudes are nasty ! Like we owe them something , cars are being stolen and nothings being done about it ,security is a joke he sleeps in his car on the days that they do have security, If you want a comfortable stress free place to live smart living on telephone is not the place!!!!!!!

I lived at this property previously and I just moved out , and my experience was extremely disappointing. There was an ongoing roach problem that was never properly resolved, despite complaints. This made living conditions uncomfortable and unsanitary. On top of that, I was wrongfully accused of smoking, which was completely untrue and handled very unprofessionally. Instead of addressing real issues within the property, management seemed more focused on making baseless accusations toward tenants. Security at this property is terrible. There is little to no enforcement, and it often felt unsafe. Concerns about security were either ignored or brushed off, which only added to the stress of living there. Overall, . I would not recommend living here unless major improvements are made in pest control, They did just get new management so hopefully things go better .

I lived at this place for 7 years. I have dealt with 2 amazing property managers at this location. Until the new property manager took over, it went down to hell. Then I have decided to move out. The new property manager very rude. She has no customers service what so ever. To the point where she close the office door and sit in her office before the closing time at 5:30pm. I went there few times and the door was locked regardless of the signs for operation hours. When I moved out , I went to office again to hand over the key at 5:30pm but the doors were locked against property policy. When I went again to drop off the keys, and I have discussed this issue with her, she retained agains me and sent me a bill of $1,200, for some light bulbs that were not working and a fresh paint for entire apartment,I hired a professional cleaning company and cleaned the entire apartment. She is trying to change me for a fresh paint that was a 7 years old. I even asked for corporate office number and she refused to give it to me 3 times. A legal action will be taken against this property for sure.

I have been reading some of these reviews here's my take. Moved here from a house in DC. Haven't lived in an apartment in more that 40 yrs. I must say my daughter picked an awesome complex. Pricing is fantastic vs D.C. area. Whenever I need maintenance, they are there quickly and repairs done. Love the amenities, now I won't live anywhere else without a W/D and Microwave. Very spacious and comfortable. There is minimal noise, yes I'm in the bottom floor. The manager that was here when I first moved was very helpful and the new one is just as good. I had roach problems but haven't seen any in over 6 months I fixed it. My issues are dog owners who allow their pets to go in front of my patio, when the trash can is empty people put trash outside of it. The parking is a hot mess, but a complex of this size, its kind if expected. I highly recommend this place. Cost, comfort, amenities. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
