What We Found

Reviewers praise staff like Katherine and Terresa for warm service and the competitive pricing, with some tenants staying 8+ years. However, persistent complaints about car theft, break-ins, drug activity on-site, and untreated pest problems overshadow the affordable rates. Management responsiveness divides sharply: some experience quick fixes, others report ignored requests and unauthorized unit entries.

Most residents report excellent upkeep and helpful staff, with Destiny, Katia, and Serita repeatedly noted for going above and beyond on leasing and problem-solving.
