What recent reviews say

Front-desk staff and leasing team earn consistent praise for courtesy and patient service, especially Anthony and Jared who help residents navigate applications and tours in Spanish when needed. However, serious maintenance backlogs, alleged code violations, pest issues, and hidden fees cloud the experience; one resident reported roaches, mold, failed pool tests, and unresponsive management over months.

The property appears split between strong customer-facing service and weak operational follow-through. Management responsiveness varies widely. Renovated units and recent grounds improvements suggest investment, but aging infrastructure and inconsistent enforcement of policies (parking, pet waste, towing decisions) create frustration.

Praised for
  • Staff professionalism and multilingual support (Anthony, Jared, Courtney mentioned repeatedly)
  • Helpful leasing process and tour experience
  • Responsive maintenance and grounds improvements
  • Friendly community atmosphere
Watch-outs
  • Slow response to work orders and maintenance requests
  • Poor communication from management
  • Safety and code violations (water heater, mold, roaches, fleas)
  • Hidden fees and inconsistent pricing
  • Inadequate facilities management (pool closures, failed tests, dog waste not addressed)

Best for: People prioritizing budget and helpful leasing staff, willing to tolerate older buildings.
Think twice if: Pest issues, slow maintenance response, and code compliance concerns reported; check unit condition and maintenance timelines before signing.

Strengths

  • Bilingual leasing staff (Spanish support)
  • Recent renovations and grounds improvements
  • Affordable entry-level pricing (1BR from $1,130)
  • 24-hour emergency maintenance available

Worth knowing

  • Anthony, Jared, and Courtney named as standout leasing and office staff
  • Renovated 2-bedroom units available at higher price tier
  • Water heater reported as 21 years old and out of code (one complaint)
  • Roaches, mold, and fleas reported in maintenance complaints
  • Pool closures and failed water tests mentioned
  • Residents report 4-6 week maintenance delays in some cases

Brianna Smith and the leasing team earn consistent praise for genuine warmth and helpfulness during tours and move-ins. Residents report swift repairs, clean grounds, and staff who follow through on promises, with Robbie and maintenance crew earning specific shout-outs. One serious review detailed unit defects at move-in (broken toilet, damaged ceiling, missing appliances), persistent pest and sewage problems, and alleged discriminatory behavior by management, tempering overall confidence in how the property handles tenant issues.

Staff and maintenance earn the primary praise: Shawn, Elly, and Eliezer fix problems next business day, while office leads Rosie and Savannah respond quickly and organize resident events that build community feel. A single major complaint involved a denied application with a $200 deposit stuck in limbo for over a month and unanswered calls; most other residents report smooth processes and a "homey" atmosphere that outweighs minor quirks like parking shortages. Detail matters here. Residents consistently name Shawn and Elly in maintenance; past leasing officer Diana also drew five-star mentions for going "above and beyond." Spacious floor plans with separate rooms and closet space appeal to families. The pool is actively used in summer. Short-term lessees and relocating professionals report friction-free onboarding, though application handling may vary.

Residents report a pleasant living experience with attentive staff and well-maintained grounds; however, parking is tight and older reviews cite a controversial eviction that damaged the complex's reputation.
