Reviews from the web

Showing 1 highest rated

First of all I wouldn’t recommend this apartment complex to anyone. The building is not up to code. There is so many things that need to be fixed. I would put in a request to maintenance and nothing would be done! Management was not good either. Last spring the back door was like gone on the bottom and snakes would come into our hallways all the time. I have found holes in my walls and nothing was done about it! My windows leaked so bad. My time living there was not great!
