I lived in this community for two years and, unfortunately, watched it go from what I thought was my dream apartment community to one that consistently disappointed me.
One of the biggest issues is the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the property. Considering the rental rates are relatively high for the area, I expected a much higher standard of day-to-day upkeep. Instead, trash was frequently left throughout the community, creating an unpleasant living environment.
Resident behavior also contributed to the problem. Common areas were often not respected, with issues such as trash accumulation, dog urine in elevators, and even dog waste being thrown from balconies. On multiple occasions, waste landed on my balcony, which was both frustrating and unacceptable.
Another concern is the additional charges that residents are expected to pay. Some fees were not clearly disclosed during the leasing process or highlighted on the property's website. In particular, the CAM charges were significant and increased by approximately $40 per month during my residency. Given the condition of the property, it was difficult to see where those additional costs were being invested.
I was also concerned about the condition and reliability of the elevators, which were frequently out of service for extended periods. The community had a Certificate of Acceptance posted from 2018, yet elevators are generally subject to annual inspection and testing requirements. As someone who works with permitting and oversees elevator compliance professionally, it was concerning to see paperwork that appeared several years out of date. Whether the elevators were being inspected appropriately or not, the outdated documentation combined with the recurring elevator outages did not inspire confidence in the property's maintenance and operational standards.
Overall, I cannot recommend this community at this time. The property has potential, but significant improvements in cleanliness, maintenance, resident accountability, fee transparency, and building operations are needed before I would consider living here again.
