My honest rate is less than 1 star. Moved out in January 2026. This place is the worst, to say the least. We lived on the 3rd floor, which was nice, but honestly that was the only positive thing. People don’t put trash inside the trash chute correctly. It got so bad that the office had to remove the trash cans by the elevators because residents kept leaving their garbage on the floor. Even after that, people still continued to leave trash outside the chute. The hallways echo every sound, which is awful when you have inconsiderate tenants throughout the building playing loud music or having phone conversations on speaker. Not to mention the arguments from other tenants, the child screaming on the 3rd floor for no reason, and the constant banging on the shared wall from our next‑door neighbor. We never had a moment of peace. Some more things that are wrong with this place: overnight fire alarms (which seem to have gotten slightly better), water being turned off almost every week because the pipes are “being worked on,” loud and inconsiderate tenants, the smell of weed in the hallways and parking lot, and if you live near the dumpster, you will definitely hear homeless people rummaging through the trash at night. The laundry room almost always has broken machines, and when the machines aren’t broken, the dryers don’t dry well. You end up paying for another round just to get your clothes actually dry. Also, the amount of notices you get on your door weekly is insane — an email would do the job. Even then, sometimes they forget to inform you of important things. For example, they turned off the water from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and didn’t tell us until I called it in. We received the email at 12:00 p.m. Yup, that is just one of many stories we have from living here. Honestly, the list goes on and on…

Stay far away from this place, moved out September of 2025 and made sure I paid the final rent. Received letter saying I owed rent and payment for damage to counters, funny cause that exact damage was noted on my move-in inspection. Long story short I'm glad I kept the receipt from the cashier's check and a copy of the move-in inspection both of which were given to the front office. I'm guessing one of the ladies in the front office is pulling something shady because their parent company is now harassing me saying I owe them what was already paid with the check they cashed, so to anyone looking to move here just be cautious.
