Horrible management

DO NOT RENT HERE! This complex is very poorly managed, many issues constantly out of order at the property and they do not get fixed. The pool has been closed for months even though its summer, the entrance are always broken so they just stay open so this is not a gated property, the laundry room is a joke, more than half of the washers and dryers are out of order and they don’t bother fixing them, the “playground” for the kids is so old and dirty, kids don’t even play there. Do not waste your money renting here. This place and the staff are HORRIBLE!
