5/5 Anonymous on Sep 1, 2022

These are clean, quiet apartments, and buildings. They need some updating, including an intercom/buzzer system that will improve security and convenience, and some new cupboard fronts in kitchens and bathrooms . Otherwise, this is a quiet and beautiful environment to live in. Repairs and other maintenance issues are taken care of promptly, and the entire staff is friendly and professional.

Moved in over the holidays and still adjusting to my new home, but so happy to be here. Office staff and management are friendly and attentive; they respond to questions and needs quickly. Neighbors have been friendly and kind, I'm glad to have recycling bins available and plentiful, and well lit parking lots and entrances at night.
