Female staff member in office was beyond rude and refused to print out or give me an application form, saying "we don't do it that way here" without giving me instructions on how to get on their waiting list, that she claimed was 3 years long. She did not supply me an email address so I could fill it online and send it in, an opportunity to speak to the manager or a date to actually see a unit. She got in front of her computer and pretended to "write my name" but unless she had the file waitlist already open, which was highly improbable, she seemed to consider that her role was to be that of a gatekeeper rather than a trained or qualified rental assistant.

The staff were so very rude to talk to we left. Want to live in a friendly neighborhood, but this place is a no way.

Spoke with a very unprofessional rep on the phone who was condescending and rude. I'm seeking out housing for my mother and I would never move her into somewhere with such impolite staff. First impressions matter.

This is one of the most secured places in town for the elderly live ings.! The apartments are so fine and well taking care off. The administrative staff is so knowledgeable. Attentive and well mannered... (believe me that this is a real plus!)

Great connections and friendships for our Mother. You need to be "independent" and they remind you it's independent living, no assistance at all. Our Mom loves living here.
