The real story

When staff like Charlene, Jada, and Gila Payton are on duty, residents experience responsive help and smooth leasing. The area itself is quiet and manageable. However, repeated management changes have created chaos: phone numbers disconnect, offices go unstaffed, pest control fails, and water damage leaves mold unchecked. Some units appear structurally compromised, with residents reporting weeks without fixes or follow-up.

The core tension is consistent. Current management gets specific praise for availability and problem-solving. But institutional failures (no emergency contact info after ownership changes, flooded bedrooms ignored, roaches untreated for months) suggest systemic breakdown when turnover happens. Residents stay because the community has potential; they leave because promises go unfulfilled.

Praised for
  • Staff professionalism and responsiveness (Charlene, Jada, Gila Payton)
  • Quiet, pleasant area
  • Nice maintenance team
  • Leasing process assistance
Watch-outs
  • Pest problems (roaches, rats)
  • Water damage, leaks, mold recurring
  • Poor communication and unreachable office
  • Management turnover and inconsistency
  • Maintenance delays and unaddressed issues

Best for: Students and renters on housing assistance who prioritize responsive management when present.
Think twice if: This property has experienced multiple ownership and management changes; phone numbers often disconnect, offices become unreachable, and structural issues (mold, water damage) get slow responses.

  • Quiet residential setting
  • Student and affordable housing options
  • Dog-friendly community

  • Pest control repeatedly fails; 2-inch roaches and rats reported.

Residents report a sharp divide: staff like Nana, DeLa, and Asia earn genuine praise for warmth and professionalism in the office, but infrastructure problems dominate the experience. Water outages, heating failures, and plumbing issues recur monthly, with maintenance taking days or weeks to respond and often lacking parts. Residents face bills over $300 for utilities tied to building failures they do not control, unclear pest control service, and an AI phone system that frustrates callers trying to reach management. One long-term resident escaped after rates jumped from $1,200 to $1,600 monthly. The office team's attentiveness stands out starkly against neglected grounds (trash, unmaintained trees, acorns on walkways) and unresolved maintenance backlogs. Reviewers note a pattern of management turnover and promise a shift toward better conditions, but repeated failures across water systems, parking enforcement, and pest response persist. Walking in to speak face-to-face with staff appears more effective than calling or using the digital channels.
