My partner and I lived here from 2021 (when the units were first built) through 2025. While the area itself is lovely and we truly made it home, the management experience was consistently poor.
Communication was unresponsive, maintenance was unreliable—especially early on—and fees felt excessive and punitive. Between rent, internet, and added charges, our costs increased roughly 43% over four years. We were even charged $80 for having a fire pit, and after moving out, were hit with over $760 in fees (not including a $300 deposit).
We moved into an unfinished unit: no closet rods, no shower rods, separating vinyl flooring, and—most alarmingly—a bottle of urine left in a closet. Appliances repeatedly failed. The dishwasher leaked for months before being fixed, the garbage disposal regularly broke, lighting and water pressure issues dragged on, and flooring repairs were poorly handled. Internet outages were frequent, including a full week offline, which caused financial loss since we worked from home. Management offered a rebate of about $14.
The property operates with disconnected systems that make even basic tasks a nightmare. During move-out, damage documentation was sent to the wrong address, EMG couldn’t access the charges, the leasing office wouldn’t return calls, and no receipt could be provided.
Despite thoroughly cleaning the unit—scrubbing appliances, drawers, and shampooing carpets—we were charged $300 for cleaning, $125 for carpet cleaning, additional carpet and wall repair fees, plus HOA and water charges for a month we didn’t live there (after already paying $2,300 in rent and fees). After deposit, we still owed over $740, including a fee just to pay by phone.
Some charges are understandable. This level is not. After four years of tenancy, normal wear and tear, and no acknowledgment of the issues we endured, the final bill felt predatory.
Unless you’re willing to deal with rotating management companies, poor accountability, and constant add-on fees, I do not recommend this property. The location is the only upside—and it’s not worth the cost.
