Don't let the great views and smooth-talking leasing agent fool you. I've watched my girlfriend endure over 3 years at this place while the infrastructure and the quality of management has steadily declined. The security doors were non-functional and open for months on end, and I feared for her safety constantly. Visitors of tenants no-longer have anywhere to park as the owners got incredibly greedy and leased the visitor parking spots to any tenant who could afford the extra expense. The management allowed an Akita, a dog on their list of dangerous and forbidden breeds, to live there in an overcrowded one bedroom unit (4 people, one bedroom). The dog's owner took great pleasure in it's aggressiveness towards people and pets, and even threatened other tenants with bodily harm via said dog. Management was made aware of this and did absolutely nothing. My girlfriend, and other tenants, lived in constant fear of this dog and its owner. When walking their own dogs outside and the Akita was spotted, they immediately headed back inside in order to avoid a confrontation. As far as I know, the dog and it's owner still live there. But wait, there's more! We were trapped in the elevator not once, but twice. The appliances in the apartment rarely worked. When management finally relented (somewhat), they replaced these appliances with used units that didn't even fit in the spaces provided. The washer/dryer replacement was so obtrusive that she couldn't even close the laundry room door; ever. Oh and the lovely black mold on the walls was always a treat to look at. The utilities are considerably over-priced. Lastly, when she found a home to move into and was finally able to stop paying almost $3k/month for rent and utilities, management slapped her with a $1,000 fine and forfeiture of her security deposit for breaking her lease, even though she gave the required 60-day notice and the unit was rented-out within days of her giving said notice. The complex is indeed aptly-named. The owners and management are truly bluffing when it comes to promises of safe, luxurious living and a management staff that gives a hoot. Nothing could be further from the truth.
