Some residents report ongoing roach and pest issues despite pest control efforts.
Several reviews describe roaches as a persistent problem, including accounts of an infestation that residents felt was not adequately addressed. One resident also mentions pest control that they believed did not resolve the issue. Others add that the problem can extend beyond roaches to general pests.
A few residents describe serious maintenance breakdowns, including leaks and mold.
At least a couple of reviews cite water-related problems such as leaks and damage that worsened over time. One resident mentions roof leaks that led to black mold, and another describes leaks happening in the unit. A separate review also describes sewage on the property where children would play.
Some reviews criticize rent increases happening repeatedly.
Two negative reviews mention rent rising more often than residents expected. One review claims rent was raised multiple times each year after a lease ended, while another describes rent increases every two weeks. These comments focus on affordability pressure rather than day-to-day care or activities.
A couple of residents say walls are thin and noise carries between units.
Some reviews describe difficulty with noise and shared-wall privacy. One resident says they could hear neighbors due to very thin walls, and another describes both thin walls and loud neighbors. A few other reviews mention quiet living, but these complaints show that noise can still be an issue for some residents.
