Every since "new mangament came" he is not professional what so ever , these apartments are the worse from all types of things going on. The original owner "Mrs.Garza" was awesome until Mr.Miguel came in and took charge and it has been the worst , so sad when your a tentant for years. Horrible reviews for this.
