My family and I just moved here to find out my unit never got painted or turned by maintenance ..and the last person that lived here was very nasty so walls are filthy apartments rent pricing don't match the condition of the unit..that means no updates to the unit..and whatever damage is in the unit won't be fix Because it's now being called cosmetic damage..maintenance never finish work orders..thing's will started and never finish..Kitchen counters are peeling.. wood dry Roten..cabinet falling apart..not the Photo online apartment's are very old,screens missing from every other window.thing's you should expect to have when being a new tenant,it should be a happy experience not a stressful time..some apartment's here are nice but I happen to receive one that's in need of a update respectfully I hope thing's get better.

The local area is a generally good place to live in the right neighborhood. Jacksonville is home to me and I wouldn't want to live elsewhere.
