This experience has many of the wonderful qualities you come to expect from Bozzuto such as a 24/7 concierge and frequent events. However, there are occasional disappointments such as rude staff or uncomfortable living space.

I've had an overall decent experience. Great location for me. Staff are very friendly. I think it's a little pricey, especially considering the cockroach/pest problems. Many residents have cockroaches, and I kill a few cockroaches a month.

Pest control is horrific. Whatever they have been doing obviously isn't working. They haven't done anything to be more efficient with their pest control. Although staff is friendly and responsive, they aren't proactive.
