Do not make the mistake of living here! Read my experience below over 2 years of living there.

Pros: Walking distance to the metro. The pool is nice during the summer. That's it.

Cons: Management is nonexistent. (Not entirely their fault as they are very understaffed. 2-3 people in the office for several hundred units is a joke) There is no 24/7 phone number to call in case of emergency. Once during a storm my roof started leaking very bad!! I called the emergency # and an answering service in Dallas, Texas answers. Unacceptable.

There is RAMPANT CRIME. My car was broken into twice and my motorcycle seat and bag ripped off once, even though I paid extra for secured private parking directly under a security camera. All three times I reported it to management and they just told me to file a police report. They couldn't have cared less. Now according to website and contract, there is SUPPOSED to be a security guard patrolling the complex 24/7. NOT ONCE, in the 24 months that I lived there, did I ever see a security guard walking around at night or on the weekends.

The doors are constantly broken so there is no sense of security. Anyone at any time could walk in and roam the halls. There were tons of break-ins/burglaries reported during my time there. Management's solution: Put up a memo in the elevator telling residents to be more alert and to lock your doors. Again, what a joke.

Last but not least, if you live here, I hope you don't have a job that requires you to be on time. The garage doors that open and close to grant access to the parking garage are constantly breaking. On multiple occasions I had to sit there in my car (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 25 minutes) for someone to come and open the door so I could drive out. God forbid this happens on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday when management is not present. Since there is no 24/7 phone # to call, there is nobody there to help you, you could be forced to let your car outside all night risking being broken into.

Bottom line: this place is not safe! It's a nice new building that looks pretty. But it's built right in front of a section 8 housing complex. Please, if you're considering living here. Come and walk around the local neighborhood to get a feel of the types of neighbors you will inherit. It is not safe. Your car WILL be broken into. Your apartment might be broken into. It is a complete roll of the dice. Don't risk your safety and your belongings.
