    I was able to meet a couple of staff members with the new management company, Habitat America. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. I anticipate a pleasant time in my apartment home.

    The appliances are outdated, no washer and dryer, can never reach anyone from the rental office. Neighbors can be a little bit loud

    I have nothing but positive energy living here at the Sutton. I moved here in 2015, this says a lot about this place I'm still here. The Management Team, Karimer, the Leasing Manager, Michelle, Assistant Manager, Emily, and Melanie are very courteous and professional. The Team will always help the residents in resolving any complaints /issues they may have in a timely manner. The maintenance crew, Jose, Quentin, and Dante always handle any requests in a timely manner, very Professional. The inside and outside of this property are clean. I love my apartment and I am very happy to be living here.

    I wish there were more EV charging stations onsite. This would push my review to all 5s. Overall, it is a great place to live with very little noise, ample parking, and a super friendly staff.
