Updated Review: Another frustrating change — they just made the pavilion reservation-only with a $500 deposit and a $200 per hour rental fee. I don’t understand how this is the solution to whatever issue they think this fixes. They literally tried nothing else first. No fob-access system, no security cameras, no staff walkthroughs… just sent out a halfhearted email about “proper use” and then slapped a huge fee on it.
At this point, it feels like we’re paying for amenities we barely get to access, and instead of managing the community, they just keep making things more restrictive and expensive for the residents actually paying to live here while ongoing issues like cleanliness, parking enforcement, and package security remain unresolved. Between this and the clubhouse being constantly reserved, there’s no point in paying for amenities because we barely have access to them. It’s ridiculous. Will start looking for a new place once lease renewal is near.
We chose this apartment complex for its appealing features, but my experience after a year reveals a mix of positives and negatives. The beautiful and spacious apartments, the dog-friendly amenities, and a responsive maintenance team are commendable.
Sadly, the ongoing issue with dog poop everywhere is a significant downside. Despite multiple stations providing bags and trash disposal, the cleanliness is a persistent problem. It's not just a matter of watching my step, but ensuring my dog doesn't step in it either.
The clubhouse, while enjoyable, is often booked for private events, especially on weekends which limits its availability for residents to enjoy. Also, community events tend to be scheduled during weekdays EARLY afternoon hours, making it challenging for those with different work hours.
The mailing room's disorder is another downside, although the presence of available lockers is appreciated. While I haven't personally faced package theft, my friend has, indicating a potential security concern.
Parking, unfortunately, adds to the list of challenges. After work, finding a spot is often a struggle. Non-residents without parking passes take up spaces, despite threats of towing. Unfortunately, these warnings seldom translate into action, creating an ongoing inconvenience.
In summary, my apartment and the outdoor spaces are delightful, but addressing issues like cleanliness, enforcing parking policies and event scheduling would significantly improve the overall living experience for residents.
