Infestations are a major issue
Residents describe serious pest problems that take time to address.
Several residents report recurring roach issues, bed bugs, and related problems like mold or other pests.

Safety and neighborhood concerns recur
Multiple residents say the surrounding area feels unsafe.
A recurring theme in the reviews is concern about crime, drug activity, break-ins, and general safety once the area is quiet. Some residents mention police presence, shootings, or frequent disruptive incidents, while others describe harassment and ongoing problems they say management would not handle. Even among more mixed reviews, the area is repeatedly called out as “sketchy” after dark or “not safe” overall.

Repairs and responsiveness disappoint
Residents describe delays and difficulty getting issues fixed.
Many reviews criticize maintenance and office follow-through, including complaints that repair requests take too long or emergency maintenance is hard to reach. Others say work gets done slowly, inconsistently, or only after repeated attempts and follow-ups. A few residents do report faster fixes, but the negative experiences around communication and timing appear often enough to stand out.
