    Review

    This complex is a place of sharp contrasts, where some residents sing praises of friendly staff, quick maintenance, and a sense of safety, while others warn in the strongest terms about an ongoing infestation, broken amenities, and management issues that can feel overwhelming. For every account of a smooth move-in or a courteous office visit, there are parallel stories of roaches crawling through living areas, mold lurking behind surfaces, and facilities that seem to be in a constant state of disrepair. The spectrum of experiences is wide enough to make any single picture feel incomplete, yet the recurring threads are clear: cleanliness and upkeep are inconsistent, pest control is uneven, and the response to concerns can swing from attentive to forgetful, depending on the moment and the person you talk to.

    The roach problem dominates many residents' memories of living here. Several reviews describe an apartment that appeared clean at first glance only to reveal a persistent and escalating infestation. Comments range from roaches visible in walls and on appliances to bugs found inside the modem and other electronics, a level of infiltration that makes people question how the issue could be so widespread despite pest-control being listed in the rent. One resident claims she had to "request a new modem for our internet because the roaches were SO BAD INSIDE THE MODEM," a telling detail that captures the sense of encroachment creeping into everyday life. Others write that pest control visits were infrequent or ineffective - the pest-control service was supposed to be included, but tenants felt they had to police the process themselves, and some found that visits were rare or routine plans were never fulfilled. The complaint about a possible nest behind a fridge, sticky traps filling up in a single night, and the sense that roaches were never fully "eradicated" adds up to a powerful caution: the problem persisted and colored every other aspect of living there.

    Mold is another central concern that crops up repeatedly, sometimes linked to health outcomes and sometimes described as a chronic, latent issue. A number of reviewers recount mold appearing soon after moving in, with the most alarming claims going so far as to link mold exposure to serious health consequences, including mold toxicity that required hospitalization for one tenant. The accounts emphasize a sense of betrayal and fear: that the management was aware of mold issues and chose to caulk over them rather than address underlying problems, that residents were told to move to a different floor plan or void their leases, and that even after moving out, the health effects linger. The rhetoric is stark - one reviewer notes a lifelong disability tied to mold while another describes being charged cleaning fees after a stay that was cut short by illness - and the overall message is that mold is not just a nuisance but a serious, enduring hazard for some residents.

    Beyond pests and mold, the physical conditions of the property and the reliability of amenities paint a blended picture. The pool, an amenity many expect to enjoy, is described as being closed "pretty much the entire time we resided there" across the length of a 14-month stay in some versions of the story. The gate is repeatedly characterized as broken, the breezeways neglected, and the front security gate unreliable. Complaints about the pool, gate, and other common-area elements are often paired with comments about the breezeways becoming spider-webbed and dirty, with residents having to navigate cobwebs on a near-daily basis. In one tale, a resident even notes that the breezeways had not been cleaned in months and that the stairs were lined with thick webs - an image that starkly contrasts with other stories of well-maintained spaces and modern vibes in the same complex. On the other hand, a different reviewer praises the gym and pool as "exceptionally nice," highlighting a divide that seems to hinge on management changes and maintenance tempo rather than an absolute problem with the property itself.

    The human element of management and maintenance is perhaps the most nuanced thread in these narratives. There are frequent mentions of genuinely helpful staff: Violet is praised for smoothing transitions, Denise is described as professional and accommodating during tours and move-in processes, and a maintenance supervisor named Miguel Rosario is hailed for kindness and dedication to service. A maintenance staff member named Velton is singled out for going above and beyond. Yet these positive notes sit alongside more troubling anecdotes about management behavior and accountability. Some reviewers allege that the office staff can be reactive or evasive, that responses to negative feedback can feel like pressure or harassment, and that assurances of pest control or repairs were not backed up by consistent action. The sense of being heard seems highly dependent on who is answering the phone or standing at the counter, and several residents express frustration with inconsistent or dismissive responses, especially when one-star feedback is involved. The mixed experiences with staff - some genuinely helpful, others less engaged or untrustworthy - coexist within the same community narrative.

    Pricing and perceived value add another layer to the overall impression. For many, the rents are described as high - "almost $2,000 for a 2 bedroom" is a common reference point - yet the sense of value varies dramatically with the lived experience. Some of the more positive reviews emphasize smooth move-ins, responsive maintenance (at least in certain instances), and well-regarded amenities, suggesting that with good management and luck, the price can be justified. Others counter that the cost does not compensate for ongoing pest issues, mold risks, broken amenities, and the stress of dealing with a management that, in their view, doesn't consistently address the problems. The tension between affordable expectations and the reality of recurring maintenance problems fuels a dichotomy: the complex can feel worth it to some residents while being untenable for others, depending largely on timing, unit, and the persistence of the management team.

    Taken together, the collection of experiences reveals a living environment that is at once welcoming and perilous. For every resident who commends a respectful staff member or a maintenance worker who saved the day, there are others who feel exposed to health risks and ongoing inconveniences. The apartment complex is not monolithic in its performance; instead, it presents a mosaic of experiences shaped by staff, management turnover, and the frustrating persistence of roaches, mold, and faltering amenities. It's a place where the same hallway can host a story of a smooth relocation and, just a few doors down, a narrative of struggle with mold, pests, and unfulfilled promises. In the end, the experience you encounter may hinge on a combination of when you move in, which unit you inhabit, and which staff you cross paths with - an unpredictable mix that seems to define life here for many residents.
