The honest read

Most long-term residents praise the staff and quick maintenance response, but serious pest problems and aged units undermine comfort. Nicole and Vanessa consistently deliver standout leasing service; maintenance arrives promptly yet struggles with recurring issues like A/C drainage and roaches that hint at deeper building upkeep gaps.

Recent shift: One long-time resident's updated 2-star review (2 weeks ago) documents worsening pest and maintenance issues since 2022-2025, offsetting earlier praise.

Praised for
  • friendly and responsive staff
  • timely maintenance response
  • clean pool and grounds
  • good community feel
Watch-outs
  • persistent roach infestations
  • maintenance issues during move-in
  • outdated units
  • trash pickup and fee disputes
responsive-managementfast-maintenancefriendly-staffpest-problemsoutdated-unitshidden-fees
Best for: Renters seeking attentive leasing staff and responsive maintenance in a pet-friendly community.
Think twice if: Roach infestations and recurring move-in defects are persistent; units built in the 1980s show age and need updates.

Staff like Patrick, Kelsie, and Sam consistently earn praise for smooth leasing experiences and quick follow-ups. The resort-style pool and fitness center draw residents, and maintenance responds fast to work orders. However, grounds upkeep is uneven: one long-term resident reported broken gates, piled trash, pet waste issues, and an unreturned security deposit with no explanation after calling and emailing multiple times.

The Mia earns strong praise for a leasing team (Brook, Angie, Ashley, Lexi) who listen closely, respond quickly to problems, and make the tour-to-move-in journey smooth and welcoming. The property itself impresses residents with its thoughtfully designed units, high-end gym, resort-style pool, pickleball courts, and dog park; the community feels intentionally managed with regular events and responsive maintenance. However, a handful of recent reviews flag cleanliness as inconsistent-trash overflow, pet waste, hallway litter-and report that when complaints reach the office, they meet dismissal rather than action. Pricing is notably high, though most residents who stay feel it reflects the quality and location. Several residents note this is a newer building still working through early operational kinks (elevator repairs, move-in timing), which management has addressed with grace. The gap between five-star and one-star reviews often hinges on resident behavior (shared space care) and building maturity, not staff effort.

Joel and Tanya deliver patient, knowledgeable leasing support that reviewers consistently praise. The office team listens and solves problems fast. However, pest infestations and delayed maintenance plague the property; several residents report cockroaches, filthy units, and little help when cars get towed. The best experience is the move-in process: staff explain financials clearly and offer white-glove service. Once you live here, upkeep falls short of the promise. Pets are welcome, but the grounds need serious attention to justify the rent.
