I lived there. Horrible. I would not advise anyone to live there. At first during the honeymoon process you are welcome with open arms. After moving in you must have the residents blessing. They call the shots. If you do not meet their standards then expect your life to be miserable. They will not tolerate any opinion except their own. You must be able to submit you will follow their rules even if It's against policy and procedure manual.

How do you feel about the level of social interaction available with other residents?

It. depends. If you are accepted by the residents and comply to their rules without questions then you might pass for being accepted. If not prepared to either move or be made miserable. I chose to move because Im different. If you are different in anyway forget it. You will be paying 4500 dollars a month as I did for nothing unless you want to sit in your apt. You will be a total outcast if you do not meet the residents standards. Management say LBGT accepted. Not even maybe. No diversity at all. There are a token 5 blacks there and 1 Asian. If don't want to be told what to how to do it and when to it
