What we found

Residents consistently praise Brittany the manager, Martha in leasing, and the maintenance crew (especially Kay) for their dedication and friendliness; many feel genuinely cared for and refer friends. Security guard KeyAndre also earns high marks. The grounds and community vibe draw repeated compliments. However, critical complaints shadow this: a reviewer reported the pool green and closed most of the summer despite ongoing charges, AC failures lasting weeks (one portable unit doubled electric bills), trash piling up, and slow door repairs. A resident faced lease violations for playing music at the pool without prior notice. Another claims retaliation after leaving a negative review elsewhere.

Management responsiveness varies sharply by issue. Some residents say emails go unanswered; others report quick fixes once flagged. One long-term resident appreciated staff efforts to help her son with a medical mobility issue and called the complex a "loving family community." A departing tenant warned of security gaps, including two stalking incidents in one year. The 4.2 rating reflects this split: 68% give five stars, but 16% rate one or two stars, citing maintenance failures, uneven enforcement, and overall dissatisfaction after long stays.

Best for: Residents seeking a caring community with strong personal staff support and pet-friendly living.
Think twice if: You need reliable AC in summer heat, consistent pool availability, or quick email responses. One resident reported pool closed most of summer and a seven-week AC outage with a portable unit.

FAQ

Is the pool open year-round?
One resident reported the pool closed throughout the summer and was in poor condition (green water) when visited, though reviews do not indicate current status. Contact management for current pool schedule.
How quickly does maintenance respond?
Response times vary widely. One resident waited seven weeks for an AC fix; others report quick, efficient repairs. Kay, the head maintenance technician, is noted for fast AC service.
Can I play music at the pool?
No music is allowed at the pool. Violations result in a lease violation notice on your door rather than a warning call or email.

Most long-term residents praise the office team (Jennifer and Tiffany highlighted) and maintenance speed, calling it quiet and well-located near transit. However, several report that maintenance work is sloppy, with improper fixes (caulking a loose tub spout instead of replacing it), ignored repair requests, and property damage without camera proof denied for reimbursement.

The Bennett

4.5(148)✓ Google-verified

Long-term residents consistently praise The Bennett's staff responsiveness and modern finishes, with maintenance arriving same-day on requests and leasing teams going above their job description during tours. However, recent reviews flag management's shift toward lax enforcement after staffing changes, noting unaddressed smoking, pet waste violations, and break-ins that undermine the luxury positioning and value proposition against nearby competitors. Community upkeep split between genuine positives (pool maintenance, gym remodel, valet trash Sunday-Thursday) and deteriorating standards (hallway cleanliness varies by building, elevator downtime, perimeter security concerns). Location on I-35 frontage road with U-turn access creates frustration during construction; back gate behind Fast Friends Brewery unreliable after rain.
