Love the community so much, so many fun events too!!!

DO NOT LIVE HERE. This has been one of the worst living experiences I have ever had, and I strongly urge anyone considering this property to live elsewhere. From the start, management moved me into an apartment with random roommates and then switched people around without even informing me who I would be living with. I later found out one of my assigned roommates was a client of mine, which created an extremely awkward and unprofessional situation. To make matters worse, this is advertised as student housing, yet I am currently living with a 40-year-old who is NOT a student, which is completely inappropriate and unsettling. The previous management team repeatedly harassed me with emails asking if I wanted a job there—to the point I had to escalate it to the VP of my company just to make it stop. The property has switched from Asset Living to Greystar, which speaks for itself. Even the maintenance staff admitted how poorly things are run—one maintenance employee told me they are overworked, underpaid, and treated rudely by management. It clearly shows in how poorly this property is maintained. Maintenance and building conditions have been unacceptable: * I moved in with a hole in my bathtub and couldn’t use it for a week * My ceiling was torn out during winter, leaving me without heat when temperatures were -13°, and management thought a $100 gift card made up for it * The building is extremely loud, and repeated noise complaints go ignored Most recently, my car was towed despite paying for parking, having my vehicle registered in their system, and possessing a parking pass. Their flimsy plastic mirror tag fell down, and the towing company they contract with failed to report the tow—even though tow companies have a duty to report a tow within 30 minutes. Because they failed to do so, police initially believed my car had been stolen and I had to begin a theft report. Considering cars have actually been stolen and broken into here multiple times—including leasing consultant Mia having her car stolen—this level of negligence is unacceptable. My car was also damaged during the tow, and management refused to reimburse me. Safety and security are major concerns: * People smoke weed constantly throughout the building * Suspicious individuals and drug addicts linger around the property * People regularly try to follow residents into the building * Entry doors/windows have been damaged and left unrepaired for days Every time I go to the office, nobody seems to know anything or have answers. Management is disorganized, rude, and impossible to work with. I will absolutely be moving out, and I sincerely hope no one else has to deal with what I experienced here. Attached are photos of these issues for proof.
