What Residents Report

Residents report exceptional service from named staff like Aidé, Angel, and Erika, with clean common areas and a welcoming leasing experience. However, since Fairfield Properties resumed management in January 2025, the office is frequently closed for training with phone system unresponsive, maintenance requests go incomplete, and the pool sat unopened through June despite May promises. Units remain dated unless residents depart. Some guests describe a feeling the property treats leasing as transactional, particularly when application fees are retained after tenant cancellations force approved applicants to reapply.

Recent shift: Since Fairfield Properties resumed management in January 2025, sentiment has declined sharply. Office accessibility and pool operations have become major pain points. Under previous operator Avenue 5 (2025, brief), pool opened timely and service appeared more responsive. Multiple residents contrast the current state unfavorably with pre-January 2025 management.

Praised for
  • staff attentiveness and warmth (when available)
  • clean, cozy common areas
  • helpful leasing process (when staff present)
  • responsive individual staff members
Watch-outs
  • office frequently closed for training, unreachable by phone
  • maintenance requests incomplete, staff turnover
  • pool delays and poor management
  • units outdated, rarely updated
  • application fee not refunded on tenant cancellation
  • unresponsive management to problems
responsive-staffpoor-communicationmaintenance-issuesclean-well-maintained
Best for: Residents who connect well with dedicated office staff and value clean common spaces, less ideal for those who need reliable office access or rapid maintenance response.
Think twice if: Office closures and unresponsive phone system make contacting management difficult; maintenance requests often require multiple callbacks; units are not renovated unless vacant or essential; application fees are not refunded if a unit becomes unavailable.

What Works Here

  • Individual staff members deliver genuine, patient service
  • Clean common areas and cozy units attract new residents

Before You Apply: What To Expect

  • Pool promised May 25 but remained closed through at least July 7 due to pump delays and chemical stabilization claims
  • Office utilizes AI phone system called Fiona that routes calls ineffectively
  • Management changed multiple times: Fairfield (pre-January 2025), Avenue 5 (briefly), back to Fairfield (January 2025 onward)
  • Maintenance turnover described as frequent with incomplete work requiring repeat visits
  • $150 application fee retained when resident-initiated cancellation made approved unit unavailable
  • Locked-out residents directed to pay $5 key replacement fee and told to call police for noise complaints

Common Questions About Applying Here

Is the pool open year-round?
The pool typically operates mid-May through end of August/early September, but recent management has experienced delays. Under previous management (Avenue 5), it opened mid-May; under current management (Fairfield, since January 2025), it remained closed through at least early July despite May opening promises.
Can I reach the office by phone?
The office has implemented an AI phone system (Fiona) that struggles to route calls to staff. Reviewers report frequent office closures for training and difficulty reaching anyone during business hours.
What if I need urgent maintenance?
Reporting a maintenance emergency to staff may result in being told to submit the request during normal business hours. Maintenance requests often require follow-up visits due to incomplete work on first arrival.

Maintenance staff like Ruberth and leasing team members like Erica earned consistent praise for responsiveness and kindness, and many residents enjoy the gated location and social activities. But reviews show a sharp divide tied to recent ownership changes: longtime residents report understaffing in the office and housekeeping, rising rents that burden seniors on fixed incomes, unresolved neighbor complaints, and deferred maintenance like unfinished hallway work and missing dining furniture. A newer director appears to have steadied operations for some, though complaints about call response, lease violations, and building upkeep persist. The property draws strong feelings both ways-some call it their best home, others say it has become unlivable for budget-conscious seniors and warn potential residents to inspect all three floors themselves.

Some residents praise the quiet environment and helpful staff like Kara and Kelby, but the experience is uneven. Major complaints center on unresponsive management (particularly named staff), deposit refunds withheld without proper communication, noise complaints ignored, pest damage, and strict visitor parking rules (seven visits per month limit). The new ownership appears to have brought changes, though maintenance delays and inconsistent customer service remain concerns.

Residents consistently praise the quiet grounds and swift maintenance response, with staff like Frenchell and Freddy earning specific recognition for going beyond standard service. Pricing ranges from $1,540 to $1,780 monthly for two- and three-bedroom units, and most appreciate the pet-friendly policy and on-site amenities, though one long-term resident departure created frustration over losing a trusted staff member.
