I don't care what negative things people have to say about this place but they are truly great people...the people who run the office and the owner. They will work with you and looked out for me. Legit is the most affordable thing around the entire area and very thankful they are here. Affordable housing is so hard to come by. Don't come here paying the affordable price that they are and expect the Hilton...it wouldn't be affordable then! Yes it's old and a bit run down but never had any issues while here. Cameras are everywhere and they don't put up with drama and such. If the police get called then they kick you out. I also loved that I could bring my dog and that everyone was so caring and understanding of my situation. It's nothing spectacular but its a roof over your head and that's a blessing. Glass half empty or half full??

Employees very kind , neighbors were friendly, they work with you as long as it's in a timely manner. I haven't seen not one cockroach or bed bug. It's not the Hilton but my family has stayed in way worse that looked real nice that did have roaches and bed bugs. I highly recommend this place.
