Our Review

Residents with manager Bernadette on staff report fast maintenance response and attentive management, though some tenants wait weeks for office replies on basic questions. Praise for the location and space contrasts sharply with complaints about raccoon infestations, non-working air conditioning, and persistent bathroom repairs across the complex.

Leasing staff have been slow with background checks and denials, and disputes over deposits and move-in fees have soured several applications. Success here seems to depend heavily on catching Bernadette's direct attention rather than relying on the wider office.

Praised for
  • manager Bernadette responsive and helpful
  • maintenance quick when contacted
  • units and location appealing
  • work orders handled promptly
Watch-outs
  • office communication poor and slow
  • unresponsive to move-in questions
  • maintenance issues not resolved (AC, bathrooms)
  • pest infestation (raccoons)
  • deposit and fee disputes
  • poor treatment during conflicts

Best for: Tenants who can reach manager Bernadette directly for responsive maintenance support.
Think twice if: Office staff are hard to reach; pest control is a documented issue; move-in process has caused payment disputes.

What Reviewers Like

  • manager Bernadette highly praised

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Manager Bernadette credited with turning operations around and resolving repair requests same-day

  • Multiple tenants report weeks-long silence on move-in payment coordination calls
  • Air conditioning and bathroom repairs cited as persistent problems
  • Background check process took over two months for one applicant; deposit disputes reported

What Stands Out

pet-friendly
Pet fees clearly published; no reviews mention pet policies or restrictions.
Luxury
Reviewers describe units as nice but cite outdated elements, AC failure, and pest problems; does not clearly meet luxury standard.

Ten months ago, new management and maintenance arrived, triggering immediate relief among long-term tenants who saw work orders cleared and grounds cleaned daily. The shift is real but incomplete: recent reviews from the past three months report unresponsive offices, unpaid rent payment portals, sudden rent hikes without notice, bathrooms that stay broken for months, widespread roaches and mold, and units that feel cramped and misrepresented online compared to what reviewers signed up for.

Front-desk leasing staff, particularly Vanessa, earn consistent praise for professionalism and smooth move-ins. However, residents report that maintenance is slow and unresponsive. Recurring complaints include ceiling leaks, mold, plumbing failures, roaches, and months-long waits for repairs like stove fixes and shower knobs. Parking is chaotic and cars reportedly unsafe.

Long-term residents credit manager Maria and maintenance crews with keeping the complex orderly and responding quickly to repair requests, but a vocal subset reports weeks-long hot water outages, roach problems that persist despite cleaning, and weekly car break-ins that management reportedly does not address. Reviews split sharply between those who have stayed five to ten years and newer residents frustrated by infrastructure failures and crime.
