Our Review

Residents experience a divided community: those with good leasing interactions and quiet apartments praise staff members like Sand and Jasmine, while long-term residents report callousness during family crises, unfinished repairs (peeling floors, broken elevators, mold), and management shifts that brought ruder service and neglected landscaping. The property works best for independent seniors seeking a calm setting, but falters in compassion and follow-through.

Quality of life depends heavily on your maintenance needs and whether you need family support during difficult times. Some specific staff excel at problem-solving, yet the broader operation shows gaps in accountability and elder-focused sensitivity.

Praised for
  • quiet, well-maintained units
  • responsive leasing and office staff
  • quick maintenance response on routine repairs
  • compassionate managers by name
Watch-outs
  • insensitive handling when residents pass away
  • delayed and incomplete maintenance work
  • rude and dismissive management
  • poor grounds and landscaping upkeep
  • unresponsive to repair requests

Best for: independent seniors seeking a quiet apartment and comfortable with self-sufficiency
Think twice if: you expect compassionate handling during family emergencies, need reliable elevator service, or depend on regular grounds maintenance and mold remediation

What Reviewers Like

  • quiet living environment
  • some individual staff members praised for professionalism
  • next-day response on routine maintenance requests

What to Know Before You Tour

  • Staff members Sand and Jasmine named for professionalism and leasing assistance
  • Routine maintenance (smoke detector filters, batteries) completed next day in some cases
  • Move-out disputes over deposits (4-month delays cited)
  • Elevator in Building 7 reported broken since Christmas, later repaired but broke again
  • Peeling and bubbling peel-and-stick flooring reported throughout units
  • Bathtub spray-painted rather than resurfaced, paint peeling during use
  • Grounds not mowed in 7 weeks under new management (previously every 2 weeks)
  • Elevator in Building 15 reported with odor issues and infrequent mopping

What Stands Out

Senior & 55+ Living
quiet living appealed to many, but poor handling of resident deaths and limited family accommodation during crises undermined senior-focused care

Reviewers report staff who listen and act quickly, with recent remodels that left units small but modern and clean. One tenant noted uncertainty about whether the new ownership still serves people with severe mental health challenges, but most praise reflects satisfaction with current management and maintenance responsiveness.

Residents consistently praise Robin, Christy, and Sherrie for genuine attentiveness and going beyond standard leasing help. The property itself earns high marks for cleanliness and upkeep; many mention feeling "at home" within weeks. The community fosters real connection through events like morning coffee gatherings. One theft complaint and disputed security footage suggest occasional lapses, but this remains isolated against overwhelmingly positive operational experience.

Residents, many staying 8-20+ years, consistently praise the staff by name (Maribel, Sharde, Patricia, Lashiondra, Chuy, Angelica) as knowledgeable and responsive. Grounds and units are well-kept, with good parking and regular activities. However, a recurring and serious complaint spans two years: the cockroach problem is said to be worsening, and residents report the current exterminator is ineffective.
