That place is a hell hole!! Ghetto mess! Don’t move there!!!
I couldn’t agree with you more! We did one year there, and it was complete hell! Between office staff stealing money and not giving a damn about anyone /anything (it took someone falling through back deck/patio for them to finally replace them-and they still didn’t change out all the bad boards! After the “repairs” to our patio we’re “completed”, I was walking on patio and my foot went through 2 boards that were side by side that were marked to be replaced but never were- the hole was large enough for my toddler/pets to fall through! Office staff just told me don’t let them out on patio and whenever they were finished with everyone else’s decks they’d double back to ours -keep in mind they just began working on them, and we’re were one of the first ones to be “repaired”- yeah they finally fixed it long after rest of complex was completely, and only 2 weeks before our move out date), office staff also charge us pet rent for mine and boyfriend’s service dogs and even after turning in required notes signed by our doctors, they still kept charging and added a document page to lease that was added to the pet section/signature pad that we had never seen before & it wasn’t in the original lease we were given when we moved in (it was an addendum either) that more or less stated that we agreed to pay pet rent on our service dogs. They forged our signature! Plus the constant gun shots that were going off there, forget it!
