I wish I had paid attention to the reviews on this building before I moved in. I have continued to be very patient and empathetic with the building and staff because they constantly repeat that management has changed. But, it’s been close to a year and almost nothing has improved. On day 1 of my lease, my front door was missing a deadbolt. They assured me that it would be installed that same day or within the week. Fast forward 9 months later and my front door is still missing a deadbolt. Which is obviously illegal. My AC also doesn’t work and my washer and Dryer cut off 5 minutes after they start up. Basically, the unit looks nice but it’s not habitable. I’ve put in more maintenance requests than I can count and they were all basically ignored or an excuse was given for why the repairs

Was going to move here, but due to unfortunate events I had to withdraw from my holding deposit. I contacted Ashley from management via email and this lady seems clueless.. I tried to be respectful and reasonable with them, it’s only $200 but in the current status of the economy $200 is $200. Since I didn’t have a permanent residence I asked to have the holding deposit check sent to Vela and I pick it up. She ensured me she would, fast forward over 20 days later when I asked for a refund status she told me that the check was mailed to my prior address that’s on file.

She just gave me some run around apology I’m so grateful I didn’t move here and have to deal with this clueless management. I still h

I’ve been here for several years. The location is perfect as everything is walking distance. Pretty much every unit has great views. And because it’s cement walls, I don’t hear my neighbors on the side, below, or above me. Besides the amazing views, the apt manager, Anjanette is amazing. She always addresses any issues that I may run into the best she can… genuine, personable and always so helpful.

I have refrained from writing a review because I understand that all new management has growing pains. That said, I have lived here for going on three years, and things have drastically changed since the new management company took over earlier in the year. The two main issues I have are the maintenance requests and the miscellaneous charges added to our bills each month now. Firstly, it has become almost impossible to have maintenance issues addressed. We have had to submit four requests because our dryer takes 5+ cycles to dry clothes now, and the building refuses to provide a long term solution. We often wait four days to a week for them to even send someone, just for the maintenance man to tell us we need a real plumber to come for it to actually be fixed. It's been several months now
