Residents report a divided experience at this property. The maintenance team, particularly one staff member, receives consistent praise for responsiveness and professionalism, while office staff are noted as helpful and communicative. However, significant concerns persist regarding pest infestations (roaches and other insects), property condition, security issues including vehicle break-ins and theft, and high rent relative to amenities and upkeep. The surrounding area presents challenges with visible homelessness and noise disturbances.
Maintenance requests are handled quickly and professionally, with work orders typically completed same-day or within 24 hours. The maintenance team is consistently praised for responsiveness, efficiency, and courteous service across appliance repairs, HVAC issues, plumbing, and general maintenance needs. A small number of reviews report delayed responses to specific requests, though these appear to be exceptions rather than the norm.
Management and office staff receive consistent praise for responsiveness, professionalism, and helpfulness, with leasing and maintenance teams frequently noted as attentive and efficient. However, residents report significant challenges with communication accessibility, billing accuracy, and administrative coordination, including difficulty reaching the office by phone and documented system errors affecting lease agreements and move-in dates. Work order response times are generally fast, though some residents experienced extended delays on specific maintenance issues. Overall satisfaction with staff professionalism contrasts sharply with frustration over operational and administrative processes.
Amenities including the pool and gym are well-maintained and regularly updated, with responsive maintenance staff handling work orders promptly. However, significant concerns persist regarding laundry facility cleanliness, pest control effectiveness, parking availability, and common-area upkeep, with recurring reports of roach infestations, pet waste, trash accumulation, and unsupervised activity in shared spaces.
Residents report persistent pest infestations, particularly roaches and mites, that continue despite repeated professional treatments. Building cleanliness issues extend beyond units to common areas including laundry facilities, grounds, and trash management. Noise insulation is inadequate, with residents reporting disturbances from neighboring units and common areas. While maintenance staff are noted as responsive, overall building upkeep and pest control effectiveness fall short of rental rates charged.
Residents report significant safety concerns in the surrounding area, including vehicle damage, break-in attempts, and visible homelessness near parking facilities. Pest control issues, particularly roaches, have been persistent problems requiring multiple service visits. The neighborhood and common areas present maintenance and cleanliness challenges that residents feel do not justify the rental cost.
