Dear prospective tenants, RUN!!! This place seems like a good place to live, until you've lived here for a while. And for a while I mean a couple of months. I have lived here about 8 months and will NOT be returning next year. Overall, the complex is in pretty decent shape and the accommodations are nice albeit pricey. The floor plans are pretty decent and the outdoor patio with mountain view (for me) and fireplace are a plus. Pool and weight room are not a glamorous as the photos on the web make them appear. As well, apartments don't live up to their photos. If you sign a lease here, be prepared to be treated poorly. If you are thinking of being a tenant here, listen carefully. Here, you are not a tenant, you will be a commodity. Often several times a week you will come home to be greeted by a note taped to your door. In brief, the notes say either "You can't do X. You must do Y within 24 hours or Z will happen resulting in a fine A and a further penalty fine B." or "We are going to do C effective immediately." For me, it's been "We are entering your home tomorrow. You must accommodate us by locking up any pets, etc." When I read this at 8pm and have to be up by 5:30am the next morning, this doesn't give me a whole lot of options. Others we're received were "You must remove your satellite dish. We do not permit satellite dishes and we will charge $200 if it's not removed within 24 hours and additional late fees and penalties." Never mind that four bolts keep a satellite dish on and it takes all of 4 minutes to remove one, the dish was placed there by the previous tenants. Finally, they relented. They also wanted to charge me a fine and say that I could be evicted b/c I had changed the locks and their key no longer worked. In fact, the locks had gotten old and you had to do a little trick to get fix it. This note happen and give you a fine and an ultimatum and virtually no time to correct the problem before they fine you. Meanwhile, I wish I could charge them $200 and a $35 service fee per day since I moved in for HAVING the satellite dish. Or I wish I could charge them for the approximately 10-15 things that maintenance never fixed that were broken from day one and that I reported on my move in form. They will try to charge you for everything and DON'T be late with rent. You will be looking at a MINIMUM of $325 ($75 fee + $35 service fee + $10 per diem + $200 attorney fee) for forgetting to pay rent before you left for holiday to the mountains. Oh, also they have a tow company, Aaliyah's, that lurks the grounds at all hours of the night looking for expired registration, low tire pressure, or any crack in your front windshield, and then it's $298 if you're lucky enough to catch them the very next day. Otherwise, tack on an extra $180. I've seen them tow my neighbor and friend's car out of a handicap spot for which he had his hang tag, resident parking, and plates. Poor guy isn't particularly mobile yet all they had to do was knock on his door or ask the office. Nope, better just make another $478 of this sucker. To conclude, the accommodations aren't half bad. The management and maintenance have been very friendly to me, but the fees and the "or else" notifications certainly send a message that someone is out to try to stick it to you at any costs and for any reason. It's not worth it. I'm the type of person that likes to come home and not worry about things and enjoy my time off. Instead, afters 8 months here, I'm constantly agitated, on guard, and worried for what they are going to try to pin on me next week. ps - when I first moved in I didn't understand why the other tenants I met and befriended were dissatisfied with the place. I didn't see it as all that bad. All of the had lived here about a year and all of them moved out. One even was a rental agent for a different property by the same owner.

Faily good place to live at. However, they will not do anything to fix what needs to be fixed in the apartment, and they will ask you to pay an extra $220to clean the apartment. Of course, this is not in the contract, and they will send the request through a debt collector. Stay as far as possible from this place. The management is horrible, and don't care about you once you moved in.

Well we had a fire alarm tonight and it was because we have college kids that smoke pot and fall asleep and burn their food so I don't see them taking any...
