The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Legacy 521 Apartments
I got a horrible experience with cockroaches on the first day it self. We went to shopping at 5 pm and came back at 8 pm on that day and we are all surprised with cockroaches on living room walls, kitchen, laundry and bathroom etc. We killed around 30 roaches on that day. We continuously killing the roaches for couple of days. I reported this incident to the management and management told me that pest control team will come on every other Tuesday. So, I need wait for 8 more days to resolve this issue. My kids were afraid of these roaches and they didn't sleep well in the nights. Management should have done pest control before giving apartments to the new tenants. I noticed these roaches backside of freezer and stove. I got one more incident on the rental insurance. I took rental insurance from progressive and not added additional interest in my policy. For not adding additional interest, they charged $35 from my account for that month rental insurance even though I have an insurance. Management should have told me that I need to add additional interest in the policy before giving home keys to me. But that not happen. Kids park is too small and it not clean. Kids not showing any interest to play here. We need to wait long time to get the lease agreement from the management. Mailbox area is getting very bad smell and not able to stand for a minute. I have not seen visitor parking signs here.
Property Manager at Legacy 521 Apartments, Responded To This Review
Hello Ramu, We regret to hear that your experience has not met your expectations. Our apartment homes are cleaned before each new resident moves in. You moved in Saturday and pest control was on property today. They saw no evidence of any pests in your apartment home. Insurance requirements were noted in the welcome letter you received. Our grounds are picked up 5 days a week. If you see anything that needs to be addresses between pickups, please contact our office team so we can address it as soon as possible. We are looking into your note concerning the mail kiosk. There are multiple signs directing residents, prospects and visitors to our visitor parking area. Please contact our office team we would love to help you find our visitor parking area and answer any further questions or concerns you may have.
If you plan on having any visitors don’t move here! There’s barely any visitor parking spots and the spots they do have are compact parking spots (for smaller cars) which is dumb!
Property Manager at Legacy 521 Apartments, Responded To This Review
We are very sorry to hear about your frustrations with our parking and noticed you left this review on July 4th which is a holiday weekend and could be the reason we had more visitors than usual. Please contact our leasing team should you have any questions or concerns - thank you.
Legacy 521 is a great place to live. The apartments are immaculate and the staff is exceptional!
