What We Found

Five-star reviews highlight the location, cleanliness, and notably the leasing team-especially Kori, who reviewers consistently praise for professionalism and follow-through. One-star reviews reflect a sharp divide: residents cite maintenance neglect, gates and elevators out of service for weeks, unresponsive emergency lines, and (most striking) aggressive month-to-month rent hikes and lease penalties since Greystar took over management. Mid-range feedback flags thin walls as a real issue. The facility itself remains attractive, but operational gaps and management culture have frustrated long-term tenants.

Property staff like Kori and Cory excel at tours and move-ins, making early impressions strong. However, ongoing maintenance backlogs, poor communication during outages, and what some call extractive billing practices have soured the experience for residents trying to renew or exit leases. The neighborhood remains a genuine draw.

Watch-outs

Common Questions About This Community

What are the move-in costs and lease terms?
Reviews do not specify deposit or application fees. Month-to-month rates are $3500. Late notice (50 days instead of 60) incurred a full extra month's rent; confirm early-exit and notice-period policies before signing.
Is soundproofing good between units?
No. Multiple residents report hearing neighbors' bathroom use and footsteps through the night, especially during non-peak hours. Tour during evening or early morning to assess.
How responsive is maintenance?
Leasing and move-in support is fast and professional. Emergency maintenance line has been non-functional; gates, elevators, and common areas have experienced week-to-month-long outages with delayed communication to residents.

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.
