Our Review

Most residents praise the quiet location, well-kept grounds, and quick maintenance response from management. Carolina, the leasing agent, earns repeated mention for courteous and patient assistance. However, security concerns surface in multiple reviews: vehicle theft and vandalism despite claimed overnight patrols, thin walls allowing sound transfer, and one account of mishandled deposit return and inappropriate staff conduct.

Praised for
  • responsive management and staff
  • fast maintenance and repairs
  • quiet, peaceful neighborhood
  • well-maintained grounds
  • pet-friendly community
Watch-outs
  • security gaps and vehicle theft
  • thin walls between units
  • deposit disputes

Leasing staff, particularly Erica, earn consistent praise for patience and warmth. Once inside, residents face a widening gap between promises and delivery: air conditioning that breaks and stays broken, maintenance that closes work orders without completing repairs, recurring roach problems, surprise charges (supplemental fees, doubled garbage bills, $5 daily visitor parking), and miscommunication about free-rent promotions. Vehicle security is a serious concern, with multiple residents reporting smashed windows, scratches, and vandalism with no management response. Multiple residents report abandoning long-term stays as a result. The property was stronger under previous ownership, but the current management appears stretched thin or uncommitted to upkeep. Plumbing leaks, broken appliances at move-in, and a green swimming pool are documented. Maintenance staff member James is individually praised, but the system itself fails to prioritize resident requests.

Amanda and Brittany have built strong resident loyalty through hands-on leasing and genuine care, with many tenants staying multiple years and praising quick issue resolution. The quiet, walkable Lakewood location and in-unit amenities (washer/dryer, pool) appeal to long-term residents, but a documented roach crisis in 2022-23 and recurring parking lot thefts-sometimes linked to gate maintenance delays-undercut the premium positioning and have driven early lease terminations.
