Families valuing responsive staff and community enforcement, without concerns about tight parking or predatory towing practices.

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-09-08). Website-sourced details were fetched 2026-07-21.

What we found

Office staff earn consistent praise for warmth and helpfulness through the application and move-in process, and long-term residents credit recent management with enforcing community rules and improving amenities. However, several recent tenants report aggressive towing fees (around $335), chronic parking space inadequacy that makes door-opening unsafe, and security gaps including contractor theft and vehicle vandalism without adequate camera coverage.

Recent shift: New manager has improved enforcement of community rules and reduced late-night disruptions at the pool, a positive shift noted by long-term residents, though towing and parking issues persist as ongoing complaints.

Praised for
  • friendly and helpful office staff
  • responsive management enforcement
  • welcoming community for families
  • efficient maintenance response
Watch-outs
  • aggressive towing practices
  • tight and inadequate parking spaces
  • limited security and camera coverage
  • water pressure and maintenance issues

Best for: Families valuing responsive staff and community enforcement, without concerns about tight parking or predatory towing practices.

FAQ

Is there a dog park?
Yes, the complex has a dog park on site.
What happens if my vehicle is parked outside the lines due to tight spaces?
The on-site towing company patrols the property and charges approximately $335 to retrieve towed vehicles. Reviewers report this occurs frequently because parking spaces are narrow, making it difficult to fit vehicles within the lines while still opening doors safely.
Are there cameras for security?
No. One tenant reported limited security and camera coverage, and noted an incident of contractor theft during maintenance work.

Staff like Maria and Maintenance Manager Terrance earn consistent praise for going the extra mile; some residents report four or ten-year stays and feel at home. Yet repeated complaints detail cockroaches, overflowing dumpsters, broken gates, and water heater failures that drag past 24 hours, often met with defensive pushback from upper management rather than swift fixes or compensation. The complex advertises resort-style amenities and pet-friendly grounds, but reviewers describe dog waste scattered across patios and common areas, pools closed for half the year, and breezeway cleaning happening rarely. The property feels split: frontline staff deliver genuine care, while systemic maintenance and property oversight lag far behind resident expectations and local housing codes.
