      New Renovation

      They are doing a wonderful job at remodeling the entire complex. All units will be renovated and the work has begun. Some Apts are ready. No issues with bugs as they are on it. I live here and the office is working with me with as we move on . Thank you Sandra for your help.

      10/29/24
      Do Not Move Here

      Within my first month, the unit was not moved in ready. I had packages stolen, I was notified of bug infestations in all the complexes not by management but by notices placed on my building's door. I apparently moved in, in the midst of new management taking over. I STRONGLY ADVISE TO LOOK ELSEWHERE. Unless you don't mind the possibility of living with roaches, loud, ignorant, and inconsiderate neighbors, or flipping a coin that this new management can fix the issues with this "community". I moved here with my child for a fresh start and now all I have are more problems that are exasperating my mental health.
