    I love my apartment, I wish we had a pool.

    4.5/5 Kyle M. on Jul 22, 2024

    So far living at Holly Oaks has been a great experience. Commuting to work in Aberdeen is great since it's so close to the complex, and the complex itself is very pleasant to walk/run through especially in the morning with all the forest trails.
