What we found

Most residents love the quiet surroundings and tight-knit community feel, with leasing staff and maintenance earning consistent praise for responsiveness. However, a significant voice reports serious maintenance issues (chemical odors, water damage, HVAC problems) met with silence, compounded by office hours that make follow-up nearly impossible and high energy bills that persist despite repair requests.

Praised for
  • responsive, friendly leasing and maintenance staff
  • quiet, peaceful community atmosphere
  • strong sense of community and neighborliness
  • well-maintained grounds and common areas
Watch-outs
  • unresponsive maintenance and poor communication on serious issues
  • high utility bills and lack of energy efficiency
  • inconsistent safety response to troublesome residents
responsive-managementwell-maintainedquiet-communityfriendly-staffslow-maintenance
Best for: residents seeking a quiet, community-oriented setting with responsive leasing support.
Think twice if: high energy bills and slow response to serious maintenance complaints are deal-breakers; safety concerns reported by longer-term residents.

FAQ

Is this a quiet place to live?
Yes. Reviewers consistently describe it as very quiet and peaceful, with an enclosed courtyard design that reinforces that feel. One reviewer notes it's not suitable if you're looking for a party-oriented complex.
What are the utilities like?
Multiple residents report high energy bills ($60-160 per month typical, one instance of $300+) despite reasonable thermostat settings. The complex is noted as not energy-efficient.
How responsive is the maintenance team?
Staff typically respond quickly to routine requests, but serious issues like chemical odors and HVAC problems have been met with delays and vague guidance; office hours (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, closing at 6) limit access.

Most residents experience welcoming staff, clean common areas, and a strong sense of community built around regular events. The property shines in leasing and property management, with staff like Kelsey, Rick, and Rachel earning consistent praise for going above and beyond. However, some residents report significant structural problems: cabinet doors failing, warped flooring from water damage, poor security around packages, and ongoing construction disruptions. The gap between the modern appearance and actual build quality frustrates certain occupants.

The Anderson delivers a polished new-build experience with responsive staff and a comprehensive suite of luxury finishes: smart home controls, heated pool, sky lounge with skyline views, Peloton studio, and 32 EV charging stations. Internet performance is the main sticking point; fiber speeds impress, but Spectrum Business outages occur nearly weekly for 2-10 minutes, frustrating remote workers despite having Ricardo on-site to troubleshoot.

The complex divides sharply between office interactions and daily living. Leasing staff, especially Megan, earn consistent praise for patience and attentiveness during tours and move-ins. Maintenance responds quickly and the pool, gym, and social spaces are well-kept when functioning. However, residents report escalating safety issues (car theft, package theft, unauthorized entry), trash scattered throughout hallways and garages, and gaps in property-wide communication. Fee disputes, incomplete repairs lasting weeks, and perceived pressure to alter reviews fuel deeper frustration. For those prioritizing personal service and amenities, the team delivers during your first weeks. Long-term residents struggle with deteriorating security and cleanliness, expensive towing policies, limited parking without paid upgrades, and management's dismissiveness when problems arise outside standard leasing scenarios.
