    There is a family feel here with many of the residents. We genuinely care for one another a sort of extended family...

    4.5/5 Adam M. on Nov 23, 2021

    First time in an apartment. Extremely friendly staff and maintenance and amazingly fast. I MENTIONED, not complained, to them that my fridge was making a noise and within 30 minutes, he was up to look at it. I do wish there was more than ONE guest parking spot but hey, oh well.
