The honest read

Staff warmth masks persistent facility failures. Leasing agents like Cheyenne and Tyler earn consistent praise for helpfulness and professionalism, and maintenance teams respond promptly to routine requests. However, residents report a pattern of broken security systems (gates and digital locks that fail), mold discoveries, broken elevators, and frequent theft that management responds to slowly or not at all.

The apartment itself is well-built-quiet, energy-efficient, modern fixtures-and the location near downtown, UT, and The Domain is genuinely strong. Pools, courtyards, and nearby dining are bonuses. Yet multiple residents describe the experience as a nightmare because of security breaches, pest issues, and a fee structure that adds hundreds monthly to rent without corresponding property upkeep.

Praised for
  • friendly and responsive leasing staff (named Cheyenne, Tyler, Shelby, Kory)
  • maintenance responds quickly to requests
  • good location near transit and amenities
  • quiet, well-insulated units
  • resort-style pools and courtyards
Watch-outs
  • broken security locks and gates, allowing unauthorized entry
  • mold issues and poor air quality
  • thin walls and noise
  • elevators frequently broken
  • theft, package theft, car break-ins
  • dirty hallways and broken facilities
  • high fees stacked on top of advertised rent
  • unresponsive management to serious issues
responsive-managementpoor-communicationnoise-issuesclean-facilitiespest-problemspackage-theftoverpricedhidden-feesfriendly-staffsafe-neighborhood
Best for: Renters prioritizing location and staff service over facility reliability.
Think twice if: Security system failures and mold history are dealbreakers; expect hidden fees totaling hundreds monthly beyond advertised rent.

What this place gets right

  • Named leasing staff known for professionalism and attentiveness (Cheyenne praised in multiple reviews)
  • Modern, quiet units with energy-efficient fixtures
  • Walkable location near restaurants, retail, transit to downtown and UT

Worth knowing

  • Cheyenne (leasing specialist) repeatedly named for professionalism and attentiveness across multiple recent reviews
  • Aliex Artiles (maintenance) praised for going beyond shift to help emergency lock issue
  • Oscar/Oscarlos (maintenance) praised for quick stove repair
  • Brivo phone-based security system frequently fails to lock/unlock, allowing unauthorized access
  • Mold discovered in HVAC systems and closets in multiple units; licensed mold inspector documented high spore levels and found demolition done improperly
  • Elevator at street entrance has been broken for extended periods
  • Elevator consistently out of service per multiple residents (3-4 month span)
  • Valet trash pickup unreliable; hallways frequently smell

Residents consistently praise the staff, particularly Sandra, Monica, and Adriana, for genuine warmth and problem-solving. The location near transit, 99 Ranch Market, and restaurants attracts steady renters. Maintenance requests typically resolve quickly, and the property hosts four events monthly with complimentary food and activities that build community. A significant minority report security lapses, ground maintenance issues, and frustrating disputes over move-out fees charged without itemized documentation. Most concerns stem from either opaque billing practices or a single manager (Monica, mentioned negatively in one detailed complaint) and broken gate security. The complex actively requests five-star reviews post-lease, which may inflate the 90% top-rating distribution. For longer stays, the staff's genuine care appears consistent; for short-term moves or disputes, clarity and accountability matter more.

This building is severely split. When staff like Jacqueline and Brenda are present, residents praise the friendliness and renovations; when management changes, maintenance drags on months and the office stays locked. Roaches, broken laundry machines, non-functional pooling, and unrepaired staircases are recurring issues. Residents report threatening calls about reviews, billing fraud, and no clear way to resolve problems.

Brad, Will, and the leasing team turn fast repairs and warm check-ins into a standout experience for many residents, who praise the stylish units and walkable Highland location. Yet chronic elevator failures, thin soundproofing that lets neighbor noise bleed through, unpredictable management responses, and tight parking have pushed other residents to frustration and regret, especially when complaints go unresolved.
