Management both adds to and severely detracts from this apartment complex. Connie is, as several people have mentioned, very rude and abrasive. She has little to no people skills and would be better suited to drill sergeant or some other job where she can bark at people all day long. The other management employee, I think Vanessa, is much easier to talk to. The office is very prompt at addressing concerns regarding apartment maintenance and care.
Maintenance workers themselves here are very nice, and speak a little bit of English, which helps if you aren't fluent in Spanish or can't speak it very quickly.
My neighbors here are pretty good, and the complex is very international. There are lots of kids, and it is somewhat family-friendly. There are heavy restrictions on pool and rec. room usage, which are ridiculous and I assume are dictated by the elderly tenants of this complex, who spy on everyone at every opportunity. No guests in the pool except for Monday through Thursday before 2 pm, with management approval/registration required and bathing caps? Are you kidding?
Parking is okay, but there are several people at the complex that use guest parking spots to ""garage"" their cars 24/7/365, making guest parking sometimes impossible. Also, smoking is permitted, which can be overwhelming and disgusting at times (use air fresheners and keep your windows open as often as possible).
Aside from highway noise, which isn't bad and cannot be heard from my apartment, the neighborhood is quiet for the most part. It has been pleasant living here for the past several years, aside from the issues listed above. The apartment is affordable and a good deal for the ease of location and size (they are spacious, albeit older). I have recommended these apartments to people who were interested, and it has worked out pretty well.
Overall a decent complex, but be aware of the many pitfalls.
Pros: Landscape, Location, Management
Cons: Management, Rules
