good location but many roaches

The building engineer is great. The management company is okay. This building has too many roaches that can't ever get rid of. It’s terrible.

4/7/23
Horrible

Do NOT rent these apartments!!! I never leave reviews, but I have to for this place as I dont want anyone to get scammed. First of all, I moved into a dirty apartment that no one dared to clean. Stains everywhere, I cannot even explain how nasty the place was. On top of that, cockroaches EVERYWHERE. Management does NOT care. Packages get stolen all the time. Neighbors are loud at 3am. I had complained so many time for so many different things. No one even replies to your email, or even if they do, it's weeks later. I can go on forever, but the point is- do not rent here!!!!
