These apartments are now called “Westwood Apartments”. Beware…maintenance work will take longer than 3 months and/or longer to get to. Site Manager only request for help with anything electrical when an electrician is on site and that could be as I stated “MONTHS”. Issue still not completed within my unit. Do not recommend. Property Management company just as bad.
