    • Sunday, July 10, 2022

      User Response: Actually I think that can change at any time. They always told a certain amount of time but it depends, some people do have to wait that long but I applied, and my interview was within I don't know maybe a week or two and I was told about 10 minutes after I left the interview that I got the apartment. It took almost 3 months for me to actually get the keys and the lease signed, all that was due because for some reason the office (some) staff (at that time) really had issues with the paperwork process to complete the move in.

    • Wednesday, December 23, 2020

      User Response: I’ve been living here for five years and Never had any issues, keep to yourself and it’ll be fine. Things happen everywhere. Sometimes if they do I usually find out through Facebook. Security is there to verify that whoever enters and does not have a fob for the entrance, have to sign in. Any other issues residents have to call police. We have cameras everywhere. Laundry, entrance, parking, and every floor have one on each direction of hallways and elevators. I sincerely don’t regret moving here.

    • Thursday, August 30, 2018

      User Response: Somewhat. You have a lock that works. But, at night security doesn’t do anything but sit there. Doors need a key tag to get in. But people let anyone in. Hence why it’s not really safe at all. Just make sure to lock your own door!
