Top rated for Amenities
“So far we are happy with our experience overall with the staff and our apartment itself. My only complaint thus far is people not picking up after their dogs. Maintenance has signs and doggie bag stations for everyone's convenience yet there are still people who are careless and selfish. I was looking forward to having a dog park here for my dog but when we went to check it out, it was full of dog waste. It's disheartening that management tries to ensure a clean place for the tenants yet the tenants are not able to respect others by simply cleaning up after their dogs. I wish there was something more that could be done about this. Whether is letting people know there will be cameras and fines or what but I wish something could be done about this.”
