false advertising

This listing was misleading — the prices and deals advertised were not accurate, and no clear explanation was provided. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend.

I lived in this complex for over 25 years. I didn't have too many compliants until new neighbors moved in upstairs who made noise constantly. Unfortunately, years ago, they took out wall to wall carpeting on the 2nd floors so every noise is heard loud and clear. Finally moved out and now live in peace and quiet!!

This apartment complex was great when I moved in three years ago, but has deteriorated. The management is no longer helpful or friendly. The heat doesn’t work properly, there are more bugs, there is dirt in the drain, the quality of the structure is poor, and there is a weird smell from the laundry machines. The management was recently highly unprofessional and not transparent about an unfair fee related to extermination services and that was the breaking point that has led me to my decision to... not renew my lease. It is disappointing to see what was once a great apartment, in the poor state that it is now.

The apartment units and appliances are old (14 year old appliances). The management is hungry for money, and when you move out they charge you for damage to old appliances. They know appliances will anyway get damaged and charge former tenants unreasonable amounts even after 6 months of moving out to pay for replacing appliances, despite settling all balances earlier. When we moved in we made note of all existing damages and this appliance was one of the damaged one. Yet they charged us for... damages. In other words you pay for their apartment renovations. Also plenty of plumbing problems, roof creaks and disturbing during nights if you live first floor. The community manager/maintenance finding ways to collect money from former tenants by sending them collection notices. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I am staying here since June 2022 and here is my review for the property:
Positive points:
1. Quiet place
2. Lots of open space to walk
3. Accessible grocery stores
4. Easy commute
5. Fast maintenance (This does not mean they are perfect, they will just come, check and leave)
Negative points:
1. Heating does not work even though its freaking cold inside the room. Its 5 celsius outside still heaters aren't working. Most of the people use personal heaters inside the home. They advertise... that the heating is free but in actual heating does not work. Even if you complain they do not care. I feel like I am sitting outside of the apartment.
2. Timely maintenance does not happen at certain places e.g. kids play area.
3. Roaches - big roaches will show up after every 2-3 days
