I've lived in this complex for about a year and a half, and since I've been here, they have been under new management twice. Right now, with the maintenance men, and Liz in the office are amazing. They are the BEST. These apartments have gotten so much better since I've been here. If there is something wrong and you have to put in a service request, they get right on it. I hated it when I first moved it, but now I really feel at home. Keep up the great work, guys!!!!!! Liz, you're amazing. Keep up the great job!!!! 👍 😊 I do you want to add something else that Andrew and Aykiem the maintenance guys at the complex are amazing they absolutely go out of their way to help in any way that they can. Mario is also great. He is always ready to help anybody he can, and that is always appreciated, Sir. There may be a lot of bad reviews, but this property since Under New Management has become a great place to live . Keep up the good work, guys! I had to come back and write a little more since I've been here longer with our new management. Boy, am I glad I decided to stay here and just stick it out. Mario and Cody, as well as the maintenance team, are AMAZING!!!! Never have a problem getting any kind of response from them, whether it's a response to a phone call or an email or whatever it is. The office staff goes out of their way to make sure that we are okay, to make sure that we can call this place our home. I'm now going on my third lease renewal, and I'm really glad that I decided to stay here. Great job guys and all that you're doing, but most of all thank you for wanting to do it and not just coming in every day hating to be here and hating to talk to every one of us, because I know what it's like to be on the other end where you can't get any response from the office and nobody really cares. For about a year and a half I absolutely hated this place but now I'm thankful that I'm here and I'm thankful for all the staff that goes above and beyond every single day to make it to where we can call this place home! Thank you, guys, and God bless. 🙏 OK, we have a new member to the staff here Jaime He is great too, he is another one that goes above and beyond for us, great addition to the team here. Keep up the good work everyone.
