    This is the END of the road and a very private location!

    4.5/5 Lauralee P. on Apr 17, 2024

    Quiet, clean, and friendly place to live. Asylum Lake Preserve is a short walk, and the surrounding campus is a wonderful environment of trees, a lovely marsh, and lots of birds. Residents range from students to retirees which makes for a great community. Maintenance request, and other concerns are responded to quickly with great communication from managers and staff.
