This is a wonderful place to live. Management and residents are great.

I've lived here for a little over 6 months and love my unit. There are good amenities and the building for the most park is well kept. Down side is our upstairs neighbors floor creeks very loud and the staff is pretty unavailable. It is hard to get management to reply. I think the parking garage should be included for how much you pay in rent. Outside of that, I do enjoy living here.

Living here has been great, the staff is attentive and personal, the neighbors are pleasant for the most part. However, it feels like a missed opportunity to not have decks for the upper level apartments that pay more than the 1 bedroom first floor apartments when those units have a patio. I am excited for the renovations to begin, and hope that more light is brought into the units as well as a ceiling fan in the bedroom to keep the whole apartment cool. So in short, its good, but there's a lot of small things that would make it great!
