What We Found

Reviewers praise leasing staff like Patrice and Inez for warm, patient help during tours and move-ins. The 3.9 rating reflects a split: many five-star notes sit beside one- and two-star complaints about the same building.

Negative reviews focus on an open security gate, car break-ins, late-night pool noise, rising fees, and trash left around the property. Several residents also say management was rude or unhelpful after disputes over deposits and towing.

Reviews split sharply. Long-time residents praise the staff, quick repairs, and a quiet neighborhood near the Medical Center. Many newer reviewers report repeated water outages, some lasting a day or more, and weak communication when they happen. Pest and security complaints come up too. One reviewer reports cockroaches during a tour and a car break-in with non-working garage cameras. Several say the staff helped them, but the building issues weigh heavily on the overall picture.

Most reviewers praise the leasing staff, especially Emily Richardson, and quick maintenance. The location near Memorial Park and the indoor dog park draw praise. One 1-star review describes broken garages, noise, and a lost package.

Reviewers praise the leasing team, especially Jai and Shay King, for patient, clear tours and helpful follow-up. Many describe the apartments as modern, spacious, and beautiful. The concierge desk also gets credit for going out of the way for residents. The main complaint is a move-out billing problem. One former resident got a final statement sent to the wrong address and an account sent to collections. The property manager later reversed the charges after escalation.
