Communication feels unresponsive
Residents frequently report trouble reaching staff by phone and getting follow-through.
Multiple reviews describe difficulty getting in contact, including unanswered phones, no call-backs, and people being sent in circles without resolutions. Others mention getting redirected away from the office or being unable to get face-to-face help, which adds to frustration. Even when residents are trying to handle housing-related questions over weeks, they say answers are slow or not provided.

Staff conduct is criticized
Several residents say interactions can feel rude, unprofessional, or disrespectful.
A recurring theme is dissatisfaction with how staff communicate and behave, including reports of rude receptionists and property managers. Some residents describe being spoken to harshly or treated like they are “not a person,” rather than getting help with their questions. A few reviews also contrast this with more positive staff interactions, but the negative experiences show up often enough to stand out.

Repairs and emergencies are frustrating

Some reviews focus on maintenance problems, including no hot water that requires tenants to wait for access and get help late. Others mention issues like alarms going off repeatedly and staff allegedly not responding when it happens.
