The nitty-gritty

These details come from public property materials and listings available at research time. Fees, parking rules and utility packages can change, so request the complete lease-cost sheet before applying.

Surface parking is advertised; confirm space allocation, visitor registration, and towing policies.

Recurring fees

Optional washer and dryer rental may add a monthly charge; current pricing should be requested.

Application fees

$75 per adult was publicly listed in July 2026.

Deposit

The official property site advertised deposits starting around $700, while listing portals showed higher unit-specific amounts; confirm the exact requirement in writing.

Utilities

Water, sewer, and trash are advertised as included in rent.

Pet details

Cats and dogs are accepted. Public listing sources showed a one-pet limit, a 35-pound weight cap, breed restrictions, a one-time pet fee, and monthly pet rent, but current terms should be confirmed because sources differ.

How does guest parking work, and what rules can lead to towing?
Who handles after-hours maintenance emergencies, and what response time is promised in the lease?
Which units are least exposed to road, rail, aircraft, amenity or nightlife noise?
Is pest control included, how often is it performed, and how are repeat issues escalated?
Has this unit had moisture, leak or mold remediation, and may I inspect the HVAC closet and window seals?
Where are packages stored, what happens after hours, and are locker or concierge fees mandatory?

About these pros & cons How we build these pages: we read publicly available resident reviews (Google, ApartmentRatings, Yelp, Reddit and similar) for each community and summarize the recurring themes in our own words. We don't copy review text, we don't display star ratings we didn't compute, and no complex has paid to appear or to have anything removed. Cons reflect what residents report — experiences vary. Rent ranges come from public listings and change often; always confirm current pricing, fees and policies with the property directly.
