My family rented one of the affordable housing units. Our apartment was 304B. We began to smell what I believe were meth fumes. These fumes were in our apartment, but didn't seem to originate from our unit. My family had to move out because of these fumes. The office was made aware and we received an email stating that there would be a reminder in the November newsletter of the no-smoking policy. The newsletter came out with no reminder. We smelled fumes at odd hours that smelled of burning plastic, acetone, vinegar, burnt m... read more

Terrible management, extremely unhelpful. If I could give zero stars I would. Bugs when we first moved in, and had to purchase our own bug spray. Community is not well kept. Was not told about the high extra expense for utilities.

ELEVATORS: There are (3) Three Elevators in this building. Usually (2) Two of the Elevators are out of order and sometimes the 3rd Elevator has problems as well.

WATER: No Hot Showers, Lukewarm at best PARKING/SECURITY: The parking garage does not access the building from each floor. You have to go down to the first floor to get in the buildin... read more

If I could rate without any stars I would. My son subletted a unit in summer of 2023 from another student for a total of two months. He let them know if it’s filth and damage upon move in via their form. Upon moving out, they claim he damaged wall and was charged exorbitant fees for cleaning despite scrubbing and cleaning the unit prior to moving out. They can produce no documents to substantiate this and will not return his $150 security deposit. Avoid at all costs as they are predatory.

First impression was terrible. They told me that my room was ready and everything was cleaned before my arrival. When I entered the room and the common areas of the unit, it was disgusting. The guy who was there before me left his clothes on the table. The dishwasher could not be used. The bathroom was disgusting and nothing was cleaned. I posted pictures on google reviews. In addition, my roommate was not the cleanest person and was not very considerate. It was not possible to change the room on any occasion.... Another bad... read more
