I absolutely love living in this apartment. From the moment I moved in, it has truly felt like home. The space is bright, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out, which makes everyday living easy and enjoyable. I especially appreciate how quiet and peaceful the environment is it’s the perfect place to relax after a long day

If I could leave zero stars I would. I do NOT recommend living here. Maintenance does not work on orders properly, I’ve had an infestation since day 1 with roaches & I am an OCD clean freak. I can’t even cook or leave a snack on the counter / table for just a moment. I find them in my fridge & FREEZER!!! i have tried to send the property manger pictures of videos but they never go through on the cell phone. Putting in MULTIPLE requests just for them to not work on them & then saying it has been completed. There are always homeless people going through the trash & leaving that area a mess. If you want to live comfortably & not be traumatized by walking into a room & have roaches scattered everywhere, DONT MOVE HERE.

I’ve lived here for about a year and I really enjoy this apartment complex: the location is good, the price is decent, and the neighbors are considerate. The new management/current leasing managers as well as the maintenance staff are really easy to talk to, and easy to contact (through text or call). The apartment itself, for me, is perfect and everything I need.

I like my apartment. I’m close to school and I can afford a nice, clean, safe two bedroom near campus without having to work (I receive financial aid for full time classes). There’s good schools in the area for children. For students looking for something less expensive than Tobin and not run down like a lot of the older complexes in the area, I recommend The Howard. It’s beautifully renovated and I’m perfectly content with not paying extra for “amenities” I wouldn’t use much anyway. (SAC has a gym and a pool for student use). There’s mostly families and students living here and it’s generally clean and quiet. I love the view of downtown, too. I’m absolutely renewing my lease. The application and approval process was easy and fast. Management cares about the residents and treat us like we’re personal friends. I had a downstairs unit and preferred upstairs, I was allowed to transfer as soon as an upstairs unit was available. No complaints. The online portal to pay rent is convenient, but the office on site is open 6 days a week as well.
