What recent reviews say

Leasing agents, especially Ragen, deliver warm, thorough service that shapes many prospective tenants' first impression. Homes are architecturally distinct with good separation between units, and the grounds draw consistent praise.

Appliance repair timelines stretch weeks, internet reliability falls short of advertised speeds, and maintenance response deteriorated after staff turnover. Trash and pest management feel understaffed, garage design limits access for standard cars, and the portal charges an unavoidable fee to pay rent.

Praised for
  • Leasing staff (especially Ragen) goes above and beyond
  • Beautiful grounds and well-designed homes
  • Unique layout with privacy between units
  • Amenities (pool, gym, games center)
  • Professional maintenance team led by Tyrone
Watch-outs
  • Slow repair response for appliances
  • Poor internet speed and reliability
  • Weak maintenance follow-through after leadership change
  • Inadequate trash and dog waste facilities
  • Pest control gaps despite monthly fees
  • Unresponsive leasing office at move-out
  • Poor garage layout makes access difficult
  • Limited window openings in units
  • Pay portal charges $2 convenience fee
  • Unexpected post-move-out cleaning charges

  • Detached garages arranged in face-to-face rows, difficult to navigate with full-size vehicles
  • Internet advertised at 500 Mbps but reviewers report much slower speeds; $50/month service fee
  • One dog waste trash can for entire community, often overflowing
  • Pest control seen once when community opened, then disappeared despite monthly charge

Common questions

What is the pet fee and monthly cost?
Pet fee is $400 with $25 monthly pet rent. The business states it is dog-friendly; there is a community dog park (though one reviewer noted it lacks water, shade, or typical park features).
What internet speed should I expect?
The business advertises 500 Mbps for $50/month, but reviewers report speeds fall far short of that advertised rate.
How quickly are appliance repairs handled?
One resident waited over a month for washer/dryer repair, with parts on backorder and no clear resolution timeline.

Staff consistency stands out here. Residents name Bry'on Hall, Michael, Erin Summers, Nelson, George, and Ashley by role-leasing, management, maintenance-and credit each with going beyond standard service. One reviewer noted the application process felt overwhelming until staff intervened; otherwise, the complex earns high marks for solving problems fast and keeping the property spacious and clean. Pet owners, townhouse renters, and those wanting stability find value. The dog park, flexible floor plans, and on-site amenities (pool, fitness center, EV charging, business center) appeal across tenant types. Residents mention 3-year stays and renewed leases, suggesting low turnover and contentment.

Leasing staff earn consistent praise for knowledge and warmth, and the property itself appeals to those seeking a quiet community with trees and space. However, management struggles with operational basics: long-standing residents report no loyalty incentives while new tenants get free rent, maintenance ignores emergency calls during crises like AC failures in 95-degree heat, and mold gets covered up rather than addressed. Utility costs run high, and hidden fees appear in welcome packets after signing.

Residents consistently praise responsive management, a caring staff, and well-kept grounds with an active social calendar. One recent review flagged past personnel problems that have now improved with leadership changes.
