New management has brought visible improvements to grounds and responsiveness, with leasing staff and office team drawing repeated praise for attentiveness and friendliness. However, persistent complaints about pest infestations, unresolved car break-ins, a security guard's unprofessional conduct, and gaps in the application process have created significant frustration. Residents report feeling unheard when reporting serious concerns, and some describe the property as unsafe for families. The contradiction is stark: recent five-star reviews highlight renovations, maintenance gains, and supportive staff, while one-star accounts from the same period describe ongoing pest problems, deposit issues, and a culture where complaints are dismissed. The property appears to be mid-transition, with front-office wins offset by backend failures in property management and tenant safety.

New residents often encounter sleek units and attentive staff, but this honeymoon fades quickly. The persistent complaints center on management becoming unresponsive once you move in, maintenance delays stretching into months for basic fixes, and common areas (pool, dog park, BBQ) deteriorating without consistent upkeep. Rent exceeds $1,500 a month for what reviewers call substandard care and accountability. The complex lists luxury amenities but falls short on delivery. Staff members like Alondra, Bailey, Danna, and Ezequiel receive individual praise, yet the office phone goes unanswered, after-hours emergencies route to voicemail, and promised same-day repairs fail to appear. One resident spent ten months without bathroom lights; another waited over eight months for an EV charger to be serviced. Multiple reviewers warn against leaving honest reviews while still a tenant, citing staff retaliation.
