    I lived here 3 years. It was one of the best rental apartments I have ever had. There were not many maintenance issues during my stay. For the minor few ones, the maintenance crew was quick to respond and quick to fix; it was amazing and skillful. During my stay there was no violence, any loud noise, disturbances, or any criminal activity. I felt secure all the time, since I am surrounded with friendly neighbors. I left because I got new job in Washington State. Thanks, Arrowood Crossing.

    My move in experience was with Mrs. Shauna Green and she was great! She was very attentive and alert with me. She was very easy to contact and passionate about me having the best experience as possible. I loved doing business with her and would advise everyone that wants to move in to go through her. She’s the best and they are lucky to have her!

    3/5 Anonymous on Jan 28, 2024

    This community used to be a great place to live with amenities that were accessible to all (Not this past summer or last for that matter). Now, prices have increased well past the value for the apartments, the office staff feel detached from the people who live here and the people living in the complex have stopped caring about the rules (noise, parking and trash) and the environment of the community. This is a such a pretty complex. The apartments are old (old appliances, rugs and color scheme) and need to be updated..
