Resident since April on a 16-month lease. I've tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt at…read moreevery step, so this is a last resort rather than a first reaction. The unit wasn't clean or finished - drawers sitting unassembled, dirty surfaces, windows, patio & and an actively leaking toilet. Maintenance fixed the toilet same-day, which I'll credit them for, but it took three days to get the apartment clean. The dog relief pad on my patio was covered in feces and urine at move-in and took about a month to remove. Most move-in items weren't closed out until the end of May.
Know the real monthly cost before you sign. My quoted rent is $1,779. My actual statement is $2,009 - a $100 amenity fee, $35 valet trash, a separate $20 package-delivery fee, $8 pest control, plus allocated water, sewer, trash, and two stormwater/drainage lines. These are disclosed in the lease addenda, so this isn't a bait-and-switch, but nobody walks you through what it adds up to, and some charges appear on your ledger under labels like "Package Locker Income" that don't match the lease. Add electric and I'm at roughly $2,260 on a $1,779 apartment.
Electric is high because the buildings aren't sealed well. Over $250 for a two-bedroom, close to double what I've paid in comparable units - and the community rules require you to leave the HVAC running at all times, even when you're away for days.
Amenities. The pool was out of service for over two months waiting on a city inspection and repairs while I continued paying the $100/month amenity fee. Management did issue a $50 credit, which I appreciate but that's roughly 20% of what was charged for an amenity that didn't exist during that window. In addition to this, the gates have been stuck open since I moved in, and non residents routinely are using the gym and basketball court, which has yet to be enforced Management.
Requests sit until you follow up repeatedly. Though I'll note this has been getting better. This is the difference between a property with growing pains and one that isn't managed well.
I'd gladly update this review if management provided a clear written breakdown of what the $100 amenity fee covers relative to the separate $20 package fee, and brought the pool credit closer to the period the amenity was actually unavailable. The location is great ,it's the only reason this isn't one star.
Prospective residents: ask for the full fee schedule and the all-in total before you sign, and ask what the average electric bill runs. Hope things can continue to get better but there is still a lot the property & management need and can do better.
