The honest read

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.

Praised for
  • responsive maintenance staff
  • welcoming leasing team
  • unique property design and amenities
  • friendly residents and good location
Watch-outs
  • chronic elevator breakdowns and poor accountability
  • thin walls and severe noise issues
  • inconsistent management communication
  • parking limitations and safety concerns
responsive-managementunresponsive-maintenancefast-maintenancenoise-issuesfriendly-staffparking-issuesoutdated-units
Best for: Apartment hunters prioritizing quick maintenance and friendly staff over sound barriers and parking.
Think twice if: Sound-sensitive renters, families with large vehicles, or those who need predictable management communication should look elsewhere.

What this place gets right

  • fast same-day maintenance response
  • welcoming leasing staff (Tonya, Caseque)
  • stylish units with solid amenities
  • walkable to restaurants and shops

Worth knowing

  • Brad and Will handle maintenance calls and repairs, often same-day
  • Tonya and Caseque in leasing office noted for attentiveness
  • Elevator failures documented 5-6 times in 4 months by one resident; recurring issue across multiple reviews
  • Walls and floors allow neighbors' footsteps and TV/music to carry clearly between units
  • Parking garage has tight compact spots; guest parking requires monthly fee
  • Professional sanitation fee ($85) charged against security deposit unless resident hires own cleaner

Reviews by category

Student Housing
Stylish units and friendly residents appeal to younger renters, but elevator downtime and noise isolation are dealbreakers in a five-story building.
Apartment Building
Maintenance responds quickly, but structural issues (elevator, thin walls) persist unresolved; management communication inconsistent on complaints.
Apartment Complex
Amenities and location praised; cleanliness maintained; but parking and common-area elevator problems strain the experience.
Apartment Rental Agency
Leasing team (Tonya, Caseque) deliver smooth tours and move-ins; one applicant left because no parking was available for their appointment.

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.

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.

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.
