What we found

Reviewers consistently praise the leasing staff, especially Keziah, and maintenance worker Qais for patience and efficiency. Manager Austin Shorts earns repeated mention for responsiveness and genuine care. The community feels clean, quiet, and welcoming with active resident events and reliable maintenance turnaround. A minority report serious friction: disputed lease promotions, unjustified move-out charges (up to $900), and frustration with management's unwillingness to override automated applicant screening, leaving some residents feeling dismissed rather than heard.

FAQ

How fast is maintenance response?
Residents report issues are fixed right away; multiple reviews cite same-day or immediate resolution.
What should I watch for at move-out?
One resident was charged nearly $900 in move-out fees (deep cleaning, appliance cleaning, carpet, utilities rebill). Review your lease for all applicable fees and consider hiring a professional cleaner before returning keys.

Five-star reviewers praise responsive staff and quick maintenance, while a significant minority describe chaotic parking enforcement, persistent pest problems, and tenant conflicts that management struggles to address. The complex delivers on amenities and design but falls short on livability for residents seeking calm or consistency.

Recent years have brought a visible split at Residences at Decker. New management (Kyla, Lindsey, Cameron, Kaycee, Kecia) earns consistent praise for responsiveness and professionalism, with families noting improved maintenance and a peaceful vibe. Earlier tenure produced serious friction: slow repairs, alleged illegal towing and deposit practices, staff turnover chaos, and hallway sanitation that deterred many. Current residents are satisfied; former ones have strong scars.

Residents and prospects praise the leasing team by name (Liliana, Alyssa, Ashley, Jordan) for genuine warmth and attentiveness, the gym and pool when open, and the quiet, landscaped grounds. However, multiple reviewers report that since January the gym and community center flooded, the pool closed, and the front office went silent on reopening dates, failing to answer emails or return calls despite residents paying for those amenities. The property itself is strikingly attractive with in-unit washers, high-end finishes, and ample parking. Maintenance staff responds quickly to unit requests. The core friction is management's silence during a crisis, which eroded trust even among earlier satisfied residents who otherwise loved the place.
