These reviews are lies lol. Ive lived here over a year and just renewed my lease. I've NEVER..I repeat NEVER had a roach problem. Temple and Ms Niece are the whole reason I love it here. Any issue I've had and there weren't that many, they have resolved expeditiously. They have great reviews on other sites. This is a great place to live, the rent is reasonable, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
