I have only been living here for 7 months and I love it here. The grounds are kept very clean and it is very peaceful. The maintenance staff are the best guys ever. The office staff are very helpful and friendly. I only have one complaint and that is my parking spot. My van is too big to park in my spot when all cars are parked in their spots. I have requested to trade spots with the spot next to me. That would be spot 37 and I am in spot 38. So far no one parks in 37 so I have not had a problem lately. But everything else is perfect here at Bixby Knolls Apartments!
