    Renovated unit, terrible management experience

    I liked the renovated, affordable apartment, layout and amenities (pool, gym, dining) and the staff were helpful on my tour, but my overall experience has been negative. Management - especially property manager Heather - is untrustworthy, rude, callous and incompetent: frequent turnover, non-responsive to tenant concerns, ignored health/safety issues, deplorable common areas, malfunctioning exterior doors, unattended medical deliveries and long maintenance delays (my dishwasher still broken). I've had privacy invasions (unlawful "patio checks"), rent hikes for years, financial strain, canceled activities and inconsistent guest/tenant policies (undisclosed Section 8 issues). I'm planning to move - avoid this complex unless you are over 80 and have no other options.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment among these reviews is mixed but skewed negative on operational and management issues, while acknowledging positives about the individual apartments and on-site amenities. Many reviewers praise the physical apartments themselves — reporting recent interior renovations including new flooring, carpeting, and appliances — and note a good layout, the ability to cook in a private dining area, and useful fitness and leisure amenities such as a weight room, workout room, swimming pool, and spa. Several comments also highlight affordable pricing, a good location, and helpful or informative staff during the initial tour. The community is described as age-restricted for older adults (80+), which some reviewers imply is an intended fit for that demographic.

    However, there is a clear and recurring pattern of complaints about management, maintenance, privacy, and common-area conditions. Multiple reviewers report frequent management turnover and portray on-site management as non-responsive, untrustworthy, or outright callous. One manager is named specifically (Heather) and described as rude and unhelpful. Reviewers describe repeated rent increases dating back to 2006, causing financial strain for some residents. Several accounts indicate tenants are planning to move because of dissatisfaction with how the property is run.

    Privacy and safety concerns are significant themes. Reviews allege unlawful or invasive tenant checks (patio inspections) and privacy violations during inspections, with at least one report of dirt being spread on a patio during such activity. Maintenance responsiveness is cited as poor: reported delays and unrepaired items (a dishwasher example) are common. Some residents report malfunctioning exterior doors and unattended deliveries of medical items, which raise specific health and safety concerns for an older resident population. Common areas receive particularly harsh criticism: while individual units are often described as livable or recently renovated, hallways, lobbies, or other shared spaces are called "deplorable" in cleanliness and upkeep.

    Activities, guest policies, and community transparency also drew negative remarks. A canceled movie night and reports that guest policies are not consistently enforced were noted. Reviewers also allege undisclosed Section 8 residents in the community, which some cited as a point of dissatisfaction or concern about transparency from management. There is a contrast in accounts about staff: some reviewers praise staff encountered during tours for being informative and helpful, while day-to-day staff and property management are often characterized as lacking care.

    In sum, the strongest positive themes center on the physical apartments and amenities: renovated interiors, a good layout, independent-living accommodations, and on-site fitness and leisure facilities. The most serious negatives relate to management and operations: frequent staff turnover, alleged rude/unhelpful management, rent increases, privacy invasions, poor maintenance response, and dirty common areas. These issues appear to materially affect residents’ well-being and sense of safety, particularly given the advanced age of the community. Prospective residents (or their families) should weigh the appeal of renovated private units and amenities against the reported operational and management problems. Reviewers recommend careful in-person inspection of common areas, asking direct questions about management stability, rent history, maintenance response times, privacy/inspection policies, guest rules, and any subsidized-tenancy arrangements before deciding to move in.
