What we found

Reviewers praise the Mueller location, spacious layouts, and responsive management team, particularly naming Martin and Nelson for personal attention and quick work. The concrete building offers rare soundproofing for apartments. However, chronic fire alarm false triggers disrupt sleep repeatedly, pest control has lapsed with roaches appearing in common areas, and security gaps allow unauthorized entry. One reviewer reported a $214 monthly rent jump after lease renewal with allegedly illegal practices. Long-term residents stay for the location and value, but newer arrivals encounter deteriorating maintenance and building systems.

Praised for
  • responsive management and maintenance
  • helpful, friendly staff during move-in
  • prime Mueller location with walkable amenities

Watch-outs
  • recurring false fire alarms causing sleep loss
  • pest control inadequate and delayed
  • security concerns including unauthorized building access
  • maintenance issues left unresolved

Residents and recent visitors consistently praise the leasing team-Elexis, Kristy, and Jannett stand out for friendliness and thorough answers-and report the property itself as clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The maintenance staff also responds quickly to requests. However, affordable housing applicants report serious mismatches between unit descriptions and what they received, unresponsive front-desk communication, and poor amenity upkeep. Several reviewers felt misled on move-in day or during tours, with the most detailed complaint centering on a unit switched without proper disclosure and windows promised but obscured by walls. The divide is stark: recent five-star reviews (last 2 weeks) celebrate staff warmth and apply pressure-free tours, while one-star and two-star reviews (spanning recent months) describe deception over unit features, unmet appointment commitments, and the sense that affordable housing tenants are treated less fairly than market-rate ones. Amenities like pools remain closed or need repair.

Five-star residents praise responsive maintenance and leasing staff like Sabrina, who guide them through move-in smoothly and handle urgent requests the same day. The gym, pool, Mueller location, and floor plans earn genuine enthusiasm. But nearly half the reviews are one or two stars, driven by severe operational failures: elevators down for months, package theft rampant enough that residents use grocery stores instead, persistent rat and roach infestations, dirty stairwells, a broken garage gate since mid-2025, and code-lock doors that fail randomly. Management reportedly shrugs at unit mismatches and ignores security breaches. The building receives city violations. Long-term residents call it unreliable; others question whether luxury pricing justifies the chaos.
