The honest read

A scenic property with hiking trails and outdoor fitness stations that fails consistently on upkeep. Tenants report trash, animal waste, and stair stench throughout common areas; some staff members go above and beyond, but leasing offices are unreliable and management frequently becomes unresponsive. The gap between the advertised luxury amenities and the day-to-day living conditions is stark.

Praised for
  • Attentive management staff
  • Natural setting and outdoor amenities
  • Responsiveness during hardship
Watch-outs
  • Neglected common areas and trash
  • Pet waste not cleaned up
  • Unresponsive management and staff
  • Poor maintenance response and completion
  • Unsafe/security concerns
  • Noise and lack of privacy

Think twice if: Persistent trash, uncleaned pet waste, frequent staff turnover, and unresponsive leasing offices are real concerns. Security cameras are reported nonfunctional or footage deleted.

What this place gets right

  • Access to nature trails and outdoor recreation
  • Individual units are well-designed
  • Bark park and pet-friendly facilities

Worth knowing

  • Maintenance issues on move-in reported: broken AC, bathroom door off hinges, foul-smelling refrigerator, garbage disposal clogged with aquarium sand
  • Tenants report paying for secured parking with camera surveillance that reportedly malfunctioned during vandalism incidents
  • Management company replaced frequently, sometimes monthly
  • Security deposit retention reported without return
  • SWAT team response to police standoff documented
  • Amy from front desk reportedly unlocks units without ID verification or tenant consent
  • Common area stairwells reported blocked by trash for extended periods

Bark park and trails praised, but animal waste throughout common areas not cleaned by owners despite bags and trash cans available.

Units themselves described as well-designed and amazing, but common areas contradict luxury standards with filth and neglect.

Three-bedroom townhomes listed, but reviews mention ongoing maintenance failures and poor property condition.

Quick answers

Are there outdoor activities on site?
Their website lists hiking trails, biking trails, walking trails, outdoor fitness stations, climbing rocks, a fire pit, and a fishing pond. However, reviews do not mention use or upkeep of these.
Is the leasing office reliable for apartment tours?
No. Multiple reviews report scheduled tours with no staff present, and phone calls going unanswered. One prospective tenant visited twice and was offered only an unfinished room shown by a maintenance worker.

Move-in experience is smooth thanks to staff like Brennan, Michael, Karla, and Chenia who handle questions patiently and go beyond expectations. Residents appreciate clean, modern apartments in a quiet, friendly setting with a functional gym, pool, and grounds kept in good order.

Three-year residents and new arrivals alike praise The Chloe for its beautiful grounds, responsive on-site team, and smooth leasing process. Staff members Hannah, Aaliyah, and Maria are repeatedly named for genuine helpfulness; the maintenance team under Eric handles requests quickly and thoroughly. Regular events and amenities draw compliments. The flip side is significant. Multiple residents report black mold and humidity issues in units; at least four people document this problem across different apartments. Move-out charges surprised long-term residents with little transparency. The dog park sits neglected with overflowing waste bins; when residents asked for exterior pest control, management declined responsibility. These are not one-off gripes but patterns some renters find unacceptable.

Staff warmth and building aesthetics draw strong praise, but serious safety lapses and uneven maintenance response overshadow the experience for many residents. Leasing team members Zavia, Kelsie, and Stephanie consistently earn five-star mentions for knowledge and attentiveness, and move-in impressions are often glowing. After residents settle in, however, patterns emerge: venomous snakes on the property met with dismissal, scorpions inside units, exposed nails on stairs, poorly sealed windows left unrepaired for months, and trash management that leaves common areas foul-smelling. Communication failures compound these issues-towing without clear warning, security deposit deductions without explanation, and washer repair requests left unresolved for a month. Property management appears reactive rather than proactive about resident safety and comfort.
