Reviews from the web

Showing 2 highest rated

The apartment is managed by Maddox Managemnt at the moment. The laundry is not reliable. All units have 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. There is an open entrance to the block which might raise security concerns. The back doors to the block are also usually open.

Apartment itself was nice but management does nothing about keeping the complex secure or tidy.

Property highlights

We compared every listing in the surrounding area to determine which amenities are most common. If a building lacks an amenity that most others in the area have, it is a con. If a building has an amenity most others in the area do not, it is a pro. Similarly, price, schools, and size are calculated relative to the size, price, and distance to schools of the other properties nearby.
