Take my word for it. (Or don't) Your experiences will be different with each unit. Angela is the person I worked with all the time. Super sweet and nice. Maintenance is 8/10. Only because if they know the problem is a low priority, it will take 3-4 days for them to fix it. If it's high priority, then it's fixed almost the next day. Only problem is that there are roaches, it's kind of annoying about just how bad the roaches are sometimes. The apartments don't come with washer and dryer.
Pros:

Pros:
Maintenance is fast and responsive
Office people are sweet and super nice (they're just sassy but a nice kind of sassy)
Pool is well maintained all throughout the seasons (except spring and winter seasons pretty obvious why)
They keep the apartment surroundings clean
Security is pretty okay, my car and my visitors' cars have not been broken into once. Nada. Just be careful what you leave in your car
Trash is accessible and easy. There are 3 trash locations for each parking area.
(To me, its a pro.) There's a lot of stray cats to pet and watch from afar but if you're deathly allergic to cats, then just be careful to not get close to them. The cats don't do anything except lay down and sleep to be honest but if you have anything scratchable on your porch, then be aware! They scratched some of my trash bags on the porch to get food but i learned my lesson lol
Gates are kept open during the hours from 8am to 6pm
cons:
Parking is VERY strict. The towing company comes very randomly and at different times for a REASON. If you have a big party or big gathering, KEEP THIS IN MIND! They will tow your car without notice if you are in a reserved spot or a visitor and have been there for more than 2 hours. THEY WILL NOTICE! (P.S its $300 if you get towed)
Parking can be terrible sometimes especially if you live in that one section at the back. (Reason why they're strict about parking)
There's no washer and dryer in the apartment. (but it is available nearby for cheap)
The washer and dryer doesn't work sometimes because its managed by another company, not the leasing office.
They can be pretty bad at responding over text sometimes (SOMETIMES, not all the time)
The dumpsters can sometimes get very over filled on Trash Day cause it's a LOT of people throwing trash and the trash trucks come by twice a week i think? But it is still maintained throughout
People keep breaking the gates sometimes so they end up being broken for a few weeks at a time.
The mail room smells like a chicken coop, don't ask me how i know i just do.
Neutral stuff to know:
It is nearby a highway so motorcycles, cars, bikes, etc. are very loud but if you don't care then, it's not a big problem.
Cats are all around, they're fun little furballs. If you're lucky, you can pet some of them. They won't approach you unless you show them you want to be approached. They are not neutered!
The majority of people living here are hispanic and black people. (aka you're going to get a lot of hispanic parties playing loud music with bbq and tacos so if you're lucky that they're nice, they'll also give you some lol) Not a lot of asians around the area.
Kids are always playing around the area so if you're a family, this is a good sign! If you hate kids and don't like them, then... idk.
There's no playground, no gym, no lounge area.
If you like a friendly neighborhood with nice (and nosy) neighbors, then this apartment offers that. The tenants around are all extremely nice and friendly.
There are a lot of people who are into cars and mechanics living here fyi! Aka if someone spots you having trouble with your car, you have a 15% chance of spawning a random mechanic who will help with your car.
