living at Garber Gables at Franklin Place? (legend property group)

hi everyone! I (woman in mid-20s) have been touring apartments in RVA and found a unit that I liked at Garber Gables at Franklin Place. Does anyone have experience living at this complex and/or living under Legend Property Management group? I have previously lived and worked in DC, and now live outside of Richmond, but hoping to move into the actual city soon for work + grad school reasons. I have a car but mostly prefer to use the bus, when possible. Thoughts on the property management/build

The River Lofts at Tobacco Row?

Don’t move there! Looked into that place because we loved the price and location but the reviews are horrendous and we saw visible water damage inside and outside of the unit. I recommend Garber Gables at Franklin place, we’ve only been here for a month since moving to RVA and maintenance was prompt when my bathtub started peeling from the water crisis.
