Living here is a joke! Its like grand central station. They use these apartments as college dorms instead of community living. Units are over populated with tenantents/students. They dont care because of the money coming in. Packages are stolen the property is not safe or secure! Anyone can walk in the building, I dont feel safe! Manage staff are terrible and I was lied to during my application process! I was purposely miss informed by a leasing agent name David.I was correctly informed by some one else on the staff with different information. This incorrect info kept me from getting a unit with a balcony. They want to enter your unit at least twice a month for something which leaves you vunerable to your valuables being stolen.
