Their pet policy is scientifically inaccurate. They list that "poisonous animals" are not allowed on premises, with two examples listed. Those examples being tarantulas and piranhas. This is objectively funny. Neither of those animals are poisonous. Tarantulas and piranhas both are eaten where they are native to. Only one of those animals is venomous. Piranhas are neither poisonous, venomous, nor dangerous. Hollywood has painted them as some vicious man eaters, and many of the people who want to own them often think of them that way as well. Piranhas are cowardly, in the same family as tetras. A large portion of their diet should be vegetables and fruits, something people often overlook and do zero research in. What does the manager think people are going to do, ninja star a piranha at someone and they get their nose chomped off? The only thing that I can imagine is that in order to properly care for piranhas you'll need at least a 125 gallon aquarium, which is larger than most landlords will allow. However, why didn't you just ban aquariums of that size? Why single out piranhas specifically? Why not Niger triggers or other fish that require tanks of that size? Also, why call them poisonous? Absolutely bizarre. How can anyone trust that these people are properly running their establishment and have all their legal ducks in a row if they can't even Google the information they are putting in their lease? Poisonous piranhas. The bar for being a landlord really is low, isn't it.

This place is unsafe inside at nite. Very loud complex especially at night. Loud music from cars and can park where ever they want regardless what the rules and the worst tenants coming from the building the manager's office is which is pathetic.Look other places to live unless you are desperate like we were being this was our first place after 4 years of being homeless. Very noisy complex and constant repair issues. Been without drywall in kitchen now for two months. Lots of theft homeless and loud between 10pm and 7am. Very loud complex oh and fire alarms go off frequently and in the night hours. Over 8 false alarms in one year. Most were false alarms due to people settung them off for fun or the retaliate against the company . Also the building is full of leaks and black mold. oh glass recycling is picked up at 345AM until 4AM every thursday and it is very loud....and im talking ...its loud. So be prepared to be woken up especially if your windows are open. Hallways are filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Update.. anouther new managment. 5/2026 update . New management has some improvements now have security service. Hope it will help homless situation. Managment seems to be doing great so far. Still vary loud at nite.

So be prepared to be woken up especially if your windows are open. Hallways are filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. Update.. anouther new managment. Another update 12/2025.... Still a big problem with homeless smell of urine, garbage and smoke. After consideration we will be looking for a new place and not signing a new lease. Also not a 55 and older complex anymore.((((((UPDATE 01 2026.))))))) There are more homeless in bld than ever before since NEW management took over. There are over 55 open apts now since old tenants moved out. LOTS more drug activity.the parking has become slack with no consequences broken down cars taking up handucap spots. If you need drug fix this is a great place to move in. There are more homeless in the building than ever in the two years of living here. ((((Building is not secure)))). Homeless have access 24/7. Update 1/31 stabbing at complex. Stairwells reeks of urine.

Rudest Apartment Manager we have ever dealt with!!! Would never recommend this complex to anyone. It is supposed to be a lovely place to live and a peaceful, restful for seniors. But with a manager like the one they have currently it is not!
