Awesome place glad I got a place here

YOU WILL REGRET MOVING HERE! We moved in 8 months ago and they raised our rent from $3000 to $3500. This has been done to many of our neighbors. It is unfair because they know moving is tough and we wouldn't want to go through a move so quickly again. Although the building is nice it is not worth moving in here as they will raise your rent pretty quickly. One of our neighbors unfortunately got raised by an additional $1100 to their already high rent prices. This is outrageous and unfair to say the least.

very nice ,Friendly ,interested

We just moved here a little while ago and we are having a hard time adjusting here because of some of the things weve had to deal with: -The place reeks of paint everywhere. -While everything looks nice on the first glance, the unit we moved into has so many defects and it is a brand new unit! -Our apartment was ridiculously dirty. The carpet was full of dust, pieces of wall, debris, and bugs; even after 3 rounds of vacuuming, it still does not come out super clean. The blinds were caked in dust. The floors have paint stains. -We had to file a maintenance request because the bathroom door didnt close in our unit and the AC could not be shut off; they claim all requests will be followed up within 24 hours but it took about a week to get any attention. -Discourteous behavior from the staff. There are no rules posted anywhere nor is it in the lease nor do residents have to sign anything regarding the number of guests that residents can have in the lounge; my wife and I were having lunch with family (as a non-private event) in the lounge one day and the community manager very quickly came in and was trying to make us sign and pay to reserve the lounge. After asking where in the lease it says that we cannot have guests in the lounge, she hesitated and then referred to the rules that are posted in the lounge, saying that only 2 guests per resident are allowed in the lounge; my wife and I were so embarrassed because they were basically kicking us out if we didnt pay in front of our family, so we had to leave. Instead of just making a beeline for us to sign and pay for a reservation, the staff could have explained the situation and made some suggestions like possibly eating in another common area (the poolside tables or the courtyard). Were it not for the friendly demeanor of the community consultant who showed us the complex and assisted us with the lease signing, wed rate this apartment complex a 1/5. Find a better quality place and dont go through what we have.
