What we found

Staff members like Robert, Edith, and Denia earn repeated praise for attentiveness and professionalism, and the property does maintain security patrols and cameras. However, the complex has become increasingly troubled since TI Communities took over management. Residents report AC failures lasting weeks, maintenance requests ignored for months, roach infestations, a pool closed or green for over a year, and gates left unsecured allowing theft and trespassing. Valet trash pickup is unreliable, and the complex issues move-out fines for issues management itself failed to address.

The gap between front-office staff and operational delivery is stark. Leasing agents connect with applicants, but once residents move in, they encounter broken appliances, failed repairs, pest problems, and a management company that prioritizes fines over fixes. Security measures exist on paper but fail in practice. Long-time residents who resigned during earlier management now regret it deeply.

Recent shift: Since TI Communities took over management from Knightsvest, resident satisfaction has declined sharply. Older 5-star reviews (4-6 months ago) praised responsiveness and cleanliness; recent 1-star reviews (1-3 months ago) cite deteriorating maintenance, unreponsive staff, and systemic failures. One resident upgraded their rating from 1 to 3 stars after speaking with Sarah Z., suggesting current management may be attempting repairs, but operational problems persist.

Best for: Pet owners valuing unit amenities and leasing experience, who can tolerate inconsistent maintenance and management.

Foxwood

Foxwood's leasing staff earn consistent praise for friendliness, but the property itself falls well short of promises. Multiple residents report mouse traps, roaches, sewage leaks, and filthy move-in-ready units that look nothing like website photos. Trash overflows for weeks, the pool has sat closed for months, and management ignores calls and emails. On top of deteriorating conditions, security is weak: gates stay open, attempted car theft occurred, and homeless individuals shelter in hallways. Several residents are in small claims or still chasing deposit refunds months after leaving. The few reasons to move in are eroding. Pets are welcome, and a handful of residents praise the initial leasing experience. But past residents and those who toured the actual spaces describe broken plumbing, recurring pest problems, and a management team that avoids direct communication. The churn between polite front-line staff and a negligent back office creates frustration that even good intentions cannot fix.

Most residents praise the staff, especially Veronica and Katie, for handling the leasing process smoothly and responding quickly to maintenance requests. The grounds stay clean and the pool draws positive mention, creating a generally peaceful living environment. A critical 3-star review from a long-term resident raises serious safety issues: a car theft in June 2024, attempted break-ins, and proximity to a homeless encampment now affecting daily life. This concern stands apart from the overwhelmingly positive experience reported in other reviews.

Staff such as Reyes (maintenance), Ismaray, and Norma earn consistent praise for speed and professionalism during move-in and repairs, often completing work same-day. Tenants across multiple reviews highlight the warmth of the leasing team and maintenance attention to detail. Management handling of resident requests presents a sharp contrast. Long-term tenants report refusals to process unit transfers, ignored problems, and weeks-long delays on straightforward fixes, especially when requests fall outside the honeymoon period. Several reviewers note the shift from welcoming first impressions to unresponsive policies afterward.
