Review from the web

Wow, where to start? For one, this place is very unsafe and we routinely had homeless people jumping the gate and wandering around the community. We told the property manager about this, but she couldn’t care less and was very lazy and unresponsive. Lastly, they robbed us of $500 dollars after we moved out. I highly recommend you document everything related to your unit and the unit condition before you leave. Better yet, just avoid living here entirely. I repeat, STAY AWAY.
