What we found

Strong individual staff members stand out, but the complex struggles with chronic pest problems, lax enforcement of lease rules, and management gaps that leave residents feeling unsafe. Early pricing is accessible, yet rent climbs steeply without corresponding improvements or security measures.

  • Staff excellence (Thomas, Ikuzwe noted for helpfulness)
  • Affordable initial pricing and community programs
  • Natural light and apartment layout
Watch-outs
  • Pest control failure and roach infestation
  • Management inattention to safety and lease violations
  • Poor package handling and administrative confusion
  • Thin walls and unmaintained common areas
  • Drug activity and aggressive off-leash dogs unaddressed

Long-term residents and new arrivals alike praise the community's welcoming atmosphere, well-maintained grounds, and spacious floor plans. One applicant flagged a slow application process and difficulty with self-employed income verification, though this remains an outlier against consistent positive experience with leasing staff and management responsiveness.

On the Green splits sharply between five-star repeat tenants who praise staff like Chelsea and Alexis, and one-star departures citing poor communication, excessive move-out bills (one resident charged $2,478 after deposit), and unprofessional office conduct. The peaceful community and lower rents attract renters, but utilities are not tenant-controlled and maintenance often lags.
