This place don't deserve any stars and you will really regret moving here.

If I could afford to move again without breaking the bank, I would. As it is, I will probably have to wait until next year.



On move-in day, they gave me the wrong keys, but I thought they were right because my apartment happened to be open when I first put the keys in the door. That night, after moving everything in, my girlfriend and I decided to hit Target for supplies. We locked the door behind us. Big mistake.



When we got back, we discovered none of our duplicate set of keys actually opened the door. We called management and two hours later around 12:30 AM the maintenance man came and knocked in our door knob with a hammer. We got to bed around 1AM after they'd replaced the door. The next day, while I was at work, my girlfriend left to do errands and realized she had forgot her car keys. She went to unlock the door with the apartment keys and found she was LOCKED OUT AGAIN!



This time, she almost lost her job for being so late to work, after they broke in the door knob the second time. Finally, we had working keys, and the next day, my girlfriend took my dog out for a walk while I was at work. We knew that she wasn't allowed a key fob to get into the building because she wasn't on the lease, but there is a keypad on the front door of the building so that she can call my phone and I can let her in by pressing 9. However, in the dog park in back, there is no keypad. Only a key fob scanner. Okay, you think, she can just leave the back and go to the front - except there is a gate surrounding the property. And she doesn't have a key to leave it.



She was locked outside, in a prison of a children's play park. I called up the management office from work, and asked them to buzz her in - they refused because she wasn't on the lease. I explained she was my girlfriend, she was late for work now, and that she was literally locked inside their compound. They basically told me they didn't care and forwarded me to an answering machine. After she finally was let in by a passersby, I called them back up to gloat that they failed to keep her out, and they again put me on an answering machine.



I tell you, I left quite a message on it. I want to break my lease now, and move out, but I can't really afford it. I made a mistake living here. The apartments are nice and the maintenance/security people really mean well, but the people who work in the management/leasing offices are idiots and don't care about the people who live here. They make all the mistakes.



Anyway, NEVER LIVE HERE. EVER. End of story.
