    I love living here! Everyone is so friendly and the apartments are beautiful. The units are kept in great shape and have very nice finishings. There is so much to do at Soroc whether it is hanging by the pool, grilling out, or playing games in the game room. My friends live coming to visit me because there is so much fun included in Soroc.

    I've been here less than a year, but I am very happy thus far and plan to stay. The location is great, the staff are friendly and responsive, and the amenities are great!

    The only complaint is some of the streets being narrow and people parking on them.
