The property draws seniors with polished apartments, a dog park, and fitness center. Amanda and Jennifer earn consistent praise for patience and follow-through. Three recent reviews describe a serious, ongoing fire alarm malfunction that has triggered 3+ alarms per day including overnight, with the emergency line unanswered and elevator breakdowns compounding stress, especially for residents with mobility issues. Management hired fire watch and has blamed residents and contractors, but the pattern and scale suggest deeper problems. The 84% five-star rating masks a sharp divide: newer positive reviews mostly precede the crisis, while recent complaints detail weeks of unresolved safety hazards.
