What we found

Most recent five-star reviews praise a genuinely engaged staff: front desk, maintenance technicians Gabriel and Justin, and community manager Lisa earn consistent mention for going above and beyond. Long-term residents highlight quick maintenance response and a peaceful environment with good amenities, trees, and nearby shopping.

However, a significant minority report serious gaps. Move-in experiences vary wildly, from clean units to apartments with flies, broken appliances, and deferred maintenance. Complaints escalate to pest infestation, lax security (gates often open, car break-ins reported), and frustration with management's move-out deposit practices. The gap between best and worst experiences suggests inconsistency in execution.

Watch-outs
  • inconsistent move-in readiness and cleaning
  • property maintenance and pest issues over time
  • weak security and package theft
  • unresponsive to service requests

Staff like Geovanni, Chante, and Diana earn strong praise for attentiveness and quick repairs, and most recent reviews celebrate the community. However, a detailed move-in account reveals serious gaps: apartments arrived unclean (cat urine odors persisting months later, paint overspray, debris), maintenance requests required repeated follow-ups to complete, and grounds upkeep lags badly (dead wildlife left for months, empty pet waste bins, ant mounds, hornet nests, trash). New residents should inspect thoroughly and document on arrival.

4.3(233)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most reviewers describe a clean, well-kept community where maintenance responds quickly and the leasing team builds genuine relationships. Units have granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and spacious layouts with reliable heating and cooling. Pet owners appreciate dedicated dog wash stations, poop bag supplies, and staff who enforce regular waste removal. A small number of visitors encountered dismissive pricing conversations and felt unwelcome by certain staff members during tours, though these incidents appear isolated. The property offers fiber internet, car wash stations, recycling, and regular resident events. Reviewers note plentiful parking, quiet units with tolerable soundproofing, and maintenance staff like Franklin and Franklyn who solve problems within hours without formal tickets. One long-term resident reported rent decreases during their tenure and fair move-out accounting. The gated community appeals to those prioritizing security and a park-like setting.

Staff and events make Progress feel welcoming, but the gap between luxury positioning and everyday quality is real. Parking damage, noise bleed, and gym/pool upkeep frustrate residents who pay premium rates for a complex that cuts corners on maintenance and neighbor enforcement. Leasing team (Natalie, Maria, Alex) consistently earn five-star praise for attentiveness. Maintenance responds fast on urgent issues. The cyber cafe, smart HVAC, and walking trail access appeal to active residents. But low bathroom ceilings, visible paint flaws, and included Wi-Fi that requires paid upgrades undercut the luxury brand. Governance is the sticking point: residents park across lines with no penalty, trash lingers in hallways, and management refused early lease exit even for a resident buying a home.
