What this means for your family

However, families should carefully inspect the unit's proximity to the railroad tracks to assess noise levels and ask management directly about their current strategy for maintaining perimeter security near the adjacent encampment area.

Key Review Excerpts
“Andrecia (manager), Ashley(site coordinator), and Scott (site maintenance), are all truly exceptional people. Their compassion for tenants, professionalism and work ethic are second to none.”
“The property is supposed to be "controlled access" but there are holes cut in the fence by the homeless occupants of a nearby encampment which abuts next to the railroad tracks. The trains are a HUGE nuisance with the noise, fumes and constant idling airbrake releases.”
“I've sent emails to APM with no response, and I've left 3 voicemails with the property manager with zero response! I can't deal with one of the leasing agents in the office anymore!”
