What we found

Chris H's maintenance team earns consistent five-star mentions for quick repairs, but tenants report severe unit decay: peeling ceilings, rotten cabinets, broken appliances, and roach infestations. The shift to new management has triggered a sharp drop in responsiveness, with residents unable to reach leasing staff, and at least one tenant charged a surprise relet fee of $1,400 without clear notice. Grounds appear neglected, security incidents have occurred, and noisy neighbors go unaddressed. Positive experiences cluster around older tenants and recent tours, while move-out troubles and facility conditions dominate recent complaints.

Location and staff warmth appeal to some, but the review pattern suggests widening quality gaps as management changes take hold.

Praised for
  • responsive maintenance staff (Chris H)
  • helpful leasing team (Tyliah)
  • convenient location near shopping and dining
  • friendly, caring staff
Watch-outs
  • poor unit maintenance (old appliances, water damage, roaches)
  • management unresponsive under new regime
  • grounds neglected (overgrown grass)
  • unexpected fees and billing disputes
  • security concerns (vehicle break-in)
  • noisy neighbors and enforcement failures

Best for: Residents prioritizing quick maintenance response and staff friendliness over pristine unit condition.
Think twice if: Avoid if you need reliable management communication, move-out billing transparency, or pest-free, well-maintained units. New management has created serious contact and service gaps.

One review calls units 'decently priced'; most complaints center on quality mismatch to rent rather than rates themselves.

Questions we get asked

Is maintenance responsive?
Chris H, the maintenance technician, is regularly praised for same-day or next-day repairs and after-hours emergency calls. However, leasing office staff under new management are hard to reach; multiple tenants report unreturned calls and closed office doors during business hours.
What condition are the units in?
Recent detailed complaints describe yellowed appliances, broken dishwashers, water damage, peeling ceilings, rotten cabinets, roach infestations, and weatherstripping gaps. Older tenants report fewer issues, but multiple current residents say maintenance quality does not match the rent.
What extra fees should I expect?
At least one tenant was charged a $1,400 'relet fee' at lease end despite claiming different terms in writing. Some charges for late lease notice also appear to exceed agreed amounts. Get all billing terms in writing before signing.

The main negatives are rent costs and one reviewer still waiting on a refunded admin fee.

Five-star reviews praise named office and maintenance staff and the renovated units. Many one- and two-star reviews describe slow repairs, roach problems, unpaid deposits, and billing errors after move-out. The split is sharp, so ask about recent repairs before signing.
