    Recently moved in and very impressed with the unit and the cleanliness of the building.

    5/5 MJ on May 16, 2024

    I moved in this week and I am very happy with my decision! The units are beautifully renovated and comfortable. The whole experience, from viewing the units to application to moving was easy. This was totally because of the Property manager, Jamella Heyward! She was available to walk me through the process and answer all my questions. ?? recommend.
