I just want to start by saying that while most of the negative comments by previous reviewers were technically accurate, they weren't completely fair.
I've lived here for four years and I absolutely love it. I donât see myself moving any time soon. I may feel less irked by some of the things other reviewers mentioned, which is probably due to the fact that I've lived in apartments for my entire adult life. Opinions are relative.
Staff: yes, the service itself leaves much to be desired. However, I think it's more of a staffing issue than anything else. All of the complaints about maintenance, cleanliness, etc could all be addressed by adding additional staff. The people themselves are always working hard every time I see them. They are always slammed. Always busy, but they are great people. The lady that cleans the hallways is one of my favorite people ever, and they have definitely improved the general "cleanliness" since some of the previous reviews. They are working hard to address any issues, and I think that is worth noting.
The inaccessibility of amenities is obnoxious. As mentioned by other reviewers, the pool is often closed and you cannot use the club house without paying a huge deposit. The fire pits are often broken as are doors and garage doors. I still think this is more of a staffing/parts issue than actual negligence by the staff. The gym is fantastic, and when everything is working, it is all top tier. I love the outdoor grills, and the hot tub is year round.
The safety of the apartment (car break ins, transients in the hallway etc.) are issues that every single complex in the area experiences. We are located in a highly populated area near Trax. I have lived in several other complexes in the area, and this is by far the safest.
The interior is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, and the location is centralized. The staff is very nice, and although I think they could use some additional staff and training, they are all very lovely and helpful individuals. I also love most of my neighbors. The "cons" simply do not outweigh the "pros" of living here, and I would recommend the complex to anyone who asked.
