Katherine was super great as our tour guide. She knew the answers to all our questions and was very helpful and very friendly. The Vista apartments are very nice and my daughters first choice as of right now

Honestly, the only reason why this is getting 2 stars instead of 1, is because listening to all the drama students have to talk about with windows open is really comical. I don't even live here, I'm just an occasional guest. The upkeep and maintenance requests seems like a lottery with what I've gathered from my friends and others that live here. A request may get put into the system but you'd be lucky to get the request filled. When it is filled, and the request specifically asks *not* to enter the apartment while no one is home.. that request is constantly ignored. I'm not exactly sure if it's explicitly stated inside the leasing agreement that is common practice but I'm fairly certain landlords or maintenance workers cannot enter a tenants home without a 24-hour notice - this has been broken numerous times. On top of this... maintenance or the overall amenities of the apartment are lack luster and/or barely working. For starters, the ceiling fan doesn't work unless the light fixture is being held? I'm convinced a drunk toddler installed the fan with how it's constructed. The stove sets the fire alarm off when it's simply turned on with a pot of water, yet doesn't beep/sound when there is visible smoke from legitimate burnt food. The complex was also cheaply built given there is zero duct work to filter out stovetop smoke yet, there are two separate smoke detectors nearly right above. I'm no genius but this is only a setup for failure. I mean, not all college students know how to cook without trial and error... To go alongside the error part of cooking - the stove has no tile or protective barrier to the drywall. The drywall is mere inches from the stovetop and while I'm no structural engineer, it only takes someone with half a brain to realize this is a potential fire hazard in itself... I'm genuinely surprised this has been overlooked. At least build it with sheet metal alongside some sort of water-based paint... would be plenty to suffice. The overall security to the building is abysmal. Electronic keylocks built into the doors are rarely working. When they are fixed, 9/10 times they're broken again within weeks. I can't tell you how many external doors I've found unlocked, broken, or stuck open because the frame is so busted the door cannot properly close. If I was a parent, this would be one of the last places I would choose to house my child given the issues. Would be more of a headache than enjoyment.

In my current experience, I can’t say I’m not disappointed. Stairwells are disgusting. Dealt with bugs all summer long, (still recently had some come into my room again) and if I left for a couple days I’d come back to them all over my room. Was told the exterminator would come and then the bugs would come back, was never reached out to for any sort of compensation for living with bugs for months when i was told me and my roommates would. My roommates and I look forward to the amenities, ESPECIALLY the hot tub and it hasn’t been functioning for what I believe has been close to if not a year or more. It feels like there’s no urgency to fix/remodel it. Also figured out that not all rooms from apartment to apartment have the same renovation done. I like the location, and the staff are friendly, just disappointing for what I’ve been paying.

At least it’s a(n overpriced) roof over your head? Common areas are gross, the staircases are probably illegally filthy and locks are broken on most of them, amenities are consistently out of order, maintenance is understaffed as any given view of the apartments shows something broken, priced the same as the new apartments built within the last 3 years because of parking scarcity, roommate matching/move in notice process a nightmare, parking pass area constantly full of people without passes because the gate breaks once a month and isn’t addressed for several days. Email or phone call replies are painstakingly slow or never happen at all. Seems like there’s only 1 staff member who knows what they’re doing. I’ve lived in 2 other location and price comparable apartments and this is unbelievably worse. Is there even a corporate supporting this place? Aand I’m likely going to be issued harsher move out charges from leaving this honest review Excited to see the copy paste apology that they leave in the comments for my experience and the explanation that they really do try and hope for better. There are years of reviews just like this, I feel as though there isn’t an appreciable effort and that it is not going to get better. Okay location though I suppose

Honestly, move in was a bit hectic but that isn't the fault of any of the staff or attendants. I've only been here a little longer than a week but my experience has been stellar. The premise is clean and really nice. Parking hasn't been an issue past move-in day and the staff have been infinitely helpful. What makes it 5 stars is how personable the staff are. I signed up for a tour prior to leasing and my tour guide Katherine was amazing and my family and I felt comfortable to ask questions and get to know the apartment. During the move-in process when she noticed I was pretty anxious in the new area she gave me recommendations for places to get food and visit. She and the staff here made me feel at home and like a part of the community in just one week. Highly recommend :))
