This review is rather unfortunate, and it was difficult having to write it. Especially knowing that…read morewe've lived here for almost five years without incident. We have an impeccable history with paying our rent on time. There were even where we paid for multiple months. The town home we live in, is well very taken care of. There has been absolutely no updates made to the town home, outside of new windows that were put in for the entire complex. Nevertheless, we're still here and being modeled tenants. Within the last couple of months, a severe smoke smell has been lingering within our townhome unit. Our unit is an end unit, so quite naturally we asked the neighbor if they were smokers. The neighbors said they weren't and so we left it alone, with the hopes that things will get better. Unfortunately, it got no better. It's even more unfortunate when you're not a smoker. The smell consists of smoke as well as marijuana. By this time quite naturally we have had enough. We spoke with the property manager Nicole on 8/15/23. We shared our frustrations and concerns with Nicole. Nicole mentioned how she sent out a message of courtesy around smoking and she was hoping this would fix the issue however it did not. She did mention how neighbors are allowed to smoke in their home. We did not know this, and we take full responsibility for that. At the same time, It's one thing if a person smokes occasionally in their home; but it's another thing when the smell of the smoke impacts another tenants day-to-day living and them being able to focus and enjoy their home. Nicole mentioned that she didn't want to lose us as tenants and that she was open to suggestions that would help to remedy the issue. She even suggested moving into a different townhome if that would maybe solve the issue. She also mentioned that she'll send out another message around smoking. It was decided that we'll put some thought to it and then get back to her. Believe it or not, the smoke smell was strong and heavy again. We said forget it, let's go ahead and reach out to Nicole and see what the process would be to move into a different home and take our chances. We spoke with Nicole on 8/17/23, and when it was all said and done, she advised us that to move it to a different townhome, we would have to pay $600 and our rent would go all the way up to market rent. We're already paying almost $1100; yet the remedy to possibly resolve the smoking issue, is for us to be out of more money, and pay market rent of over $1200. We're left speechless.

I asked to move to another unit and was told that many others have the same problem. The critters are extremely loud at night, and it sounds like they're coming through the ceiling and walls!

This sh*t is crazy...they don't even know what's up there!! Who the f*** wants rabies!!

Baseboard heaters and ac wall unit are energy pigs. Prepare for high utility bills. Actual apartment condition looks nothing like the office model. Carpet is piece mealed and matted down.

The apartment is nice when you first move in but it quickly falls apart. The pain chips, the sink…read morechips, the blinds chip, even the "granite" chips. You can hear everything through the walls as they are paper thin, even a cough from your neighbor sounds like they're standing in your living room. The management office is unbelievably rude, especially the AA woman. My dishwasher flooded and the water was up to my ankles, trying to get maintenance out to your apartment is a joke. If you complain to management they start doing spiteful things such as sending packages away, even going as far as writing up false noise complaints. The reason I know they're false is because the complaints didn't start until 3 years after I lived there and my neighbors assured me that they never complained or heard any noise (outside of standard living) coming from my apartment. There isn't many up to date rental properties in highland but I promise this place is NOT worth it.

It has to be unsafe to live there bc of all the feces, mold, and infestations of flees, bed bugs and roaches they keep having, this is why they exterminate every 3 months. They let only people they know have special privileges. Cars are always being broken into every other day, your neighbors walk their dogs in front of your house to poop and they just leave it there so when they cut the grass every week poop is just being cut up and flying everywhere smh! It's a rowdy family of people that lives for bullshit so pray they're not your neighbors but it's a lot of them. Security is definitely gonna harass you while criminals come over there and get away with everything! If you're okay with all of those things then this is definitely the perfect place for you!
