What Residents Report

Tenants praise the front-office team, especially leasing agents Carolina and Annie, for patient guidance through applications and move-ins. Staff often resolve maintenance quickly, and the property itself earns consistent compliments.

However, applicants report communication breakdowns after approval, unresponsiveness to voicemails, and disputes over unit condition before move-in. Security concerns in the parking lot and disputes over deposit refunds appear in one-star reviews, creating doubt about follow-through once a lease begins.

Strong staff and well-maintained units earn praise from long-term residents, but a persistent German roach infestation and recurrent elevator breakdowns undermine daily living, particularly for disabled tenants relying on accessibility. Management responds slowly to maintenance complaints and enforcement issues.

Most recent applicants praise staff members Carolina and Taeya for guiding them through leasing with patience and care, often staying late to help. However, earlier reviews describe severe safety issues including nightly gunshots and police presence, chronic maintenance problems, water damage, and roach infestations that management failed to address. The stark divide suggests recent staffing changes may have improved the leasing process, but underlying property and safety conditions remain disputed.

Quality varies sharply. Early residents praised affordability and amenities, but recent reviewers report escalating safety issues, roach problems that staff ignored for months, and a sharp management shift. Staff like Thomas and Ikuzwe received praise for knowledge and patience, yet the same building deteriorated enough that one long-term tenant moved out after crime, theft, and untreated pest infestations made daily life unsafe. Rent rose $320 in two years without improvements.
