Review from the web

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.

Review from the web

I called here and spoke with Rachel. She was very unprofessional from her tone to her implicated demeanor. She wouldnt have an answer for my questions, she would reply well whats your score, well why would you even need a co-signer. It was simple as our requirements for income is x and the minimum score is y And so on. Shes not in the right place of employment. I wouldnt want to deal with that kind of person looking for my next home not headache.
