What Residents Say

Leasing staff, especially Scott and Joana, consistently deliver knowledgeable and welcoming service that makes new residents feel valued. However, this goodwill dissolves once residents move in: maintenance backlogs span weeks, air conditioning fails repeatedly during summer heat, hot water goes missing, roaches and other pests are widespread, and the office deflects responsibility between departments.

Specific failures stack up: a resident had no hot shower for a month with a gaping wall hole, another waited two weeks for AC repair in 90-100 degree heat, a third found the fitness center flooded and unusable, and long-term residents report roof leaks, damaged plumbing, overflowing dumpsters, and water cuts without notice. The gap between the sales pitch and daily living conditions is severe.

Praised for
  • leasing staff professionalism and knowledge
  • maintenance staff responsiveness (Jose named)
  • welcoming customer service experience
  • staff willingness to resolve billing issues
Watch-outs
  • chronic maintenance delays and incomplete repairs
  • unresponsive office to service requests
  • pest infestation problems
  • water and HVAC failures
  • safety hazards in shared amenities
  • poor grounds maintenance and infrastructure

Best for: Move-in tours and lease signing; not ideal for residents needing reliable utilities or pest-free living.
Think twice if: You need dependable air conditioning, hot water, or pest control; leasing-office delays are chronic and staff often shift blame between departments.

Common Renter Questions

Who should I ask for during a leasing tour?
Residents consistently praise Scott and Joana. Scott is highlighted for his knowledge and thorough apartment tours; Joana is noted for professionalism and care. Both are named as going above and beyond.
Is the fitness center reliable?
One resident reported the fitness center flooded after heavy rain with water near electrical outlets and the roof leaking throughout, making it unusable. Another mentioned disappointment with its condition overall.
How fast is maintenance?
Maintenance technician Jose is praised for speed and communication. However, multiple residents report office staff delays in submitting work tickets, leading to waits of weeks for AC repairs, hot water restoration, and other repairs. One resident fixed an AC drainage issue themselves after office delays.

Staff excellence defines the experience here. Residents consistently praise office manager Josie and receptionist Bella for treating them like family, and maintenance worker Jorge Sanchez for fixing problems same-day with a cheerful attitude. One recent concern flags the front grounds needing attention, but the gated property, dog park, and fitness center draw seniors seeking both active living and supportive community. Amenities include a fitness center, computer center, theater room, pool, community garden, walking trails, and EV charging. Independent living comes in one- and two-bedroom layouts. The 4.9 rating across 68 reviews reflects consistent delivery on comfort and care.

Five-star reviewers consistently praise Emily and Michael's responsiveness, cleanliness of grounds, and quiet neighbourhoods. However, one-star reviews report persistent roach infestations, slow resolution of maintenance issues, a dangerous exit design, and management's defensive public responses to criticism that reviewers found dismissive and blame-shifting rather than solution-focused.
