What Residents Say

Life here hinges on which manager or leasing agent you work with. Five-star reviewers consistently praise Crystal Garza for patient, bilingual guidance and staff responsiveness to maintenance requests, with one tenant getting AC fixed in days. Others encounter an unresponsive office phone, roaches residents say persist across entire buildings, and months-long waits for promised washers, dryers, dishwashers, or shower repairs.

The community itself appeals: it is gated, quiet, has a clean pool and gym, and sits near schools and shops. Pricing draws renters. But multiple residents report the office abandons tenants mid-problem, billing stays chaotic after management transitions, and pest control does not solve the roach issue. One tenant wore a mask in her apartment due to a neighbour's cannabis smoke and repeated complaints to management.

Strong front-office and maintenance teams (Martin, Gene, Jennifer repeatedly named) earn consistent five-star marks for responsiveness and care. However, unresolved pest issues, missed trash pickups, and disputes over undisclosed fees create friction for residents. Management credibility fractures when tenants report contradictory messages and lease-renewal billing errors.

Reviewers consistently praise the front-office team and maintenance responsiveness, often naming staff like Sorina and Holly. The property offers spacious units with wood flooring and amenities; location near highways and services appeals to residents. However, complaints center on structural deterioration, pest problems, and aggressive move-out fees that leave tenants with unexpected charges despite deposits paid.
