What We Found

Praise for specific staff members and spacious layouts masks deeper frustration. Since Sync took over management in spring 2026, residents report failing doors, slow repairs, odors in common areas, rent hikes without quality improvement, and inconsistent maintenance. Five-star reviews cluster heavily before and immediately after the transition; recent one-star reviews express feeling that the property is now managed for revenue rather than resident wellbeing.

Recent shift: Sharp decline in sentiment since Sync management took over in spring 2026. Older reviews under previous management praise the property; newer reviews describe deterioration in maintenance, cleanliness, and communication, despite individual staff members (especially Angelina) receiving continued praise.

Praised for
  • friendly and responsive leasing staff
  • spacious floor plans
  • outdoor amenities well-maintained
  • strong individual staff members (Angelina, Brian, Nina)
Watch-outs
  • significant decline since Sync management takeover
  • elevators and doors frequently out of service
  • maintenance slowness and unreliability
  • cleanliness issues (hallway odors, garage dust, pet hair)
  • rent increases with no service improvement
  • parking and access complications
  • poorly maintained amenities (gym equipment, pool table)

Best for: Renters prioritizing floor plan size and location who do careful due diligence on current maintenance trends.
Think twice if: You want consistent, responsive maintenance. Recent residents report slow repairs, frequent elevator/door outages, and declining common-area upkeep since the 2026 management change.

Five-star reviews highlight warm staff, clean spaces, and meaningful engagement; one recent visitor praised the brightness and views. However, a significant thread of complaints centers on insufficient staffing, management turnover, and unmet care promises, particularly in assisted living. Multiple families report dangerously slow response times to calls, dietary restrictions unmet, and management unreachable during critical situations like hospital discharges.
