    3 months in, and I definitely love it here. The community is great, the staff is top-tier, and the area is ideal. Almost anything someone would want is within walking distance! I drive an electric car, so the on-site chargers are a big bonus as well.

    every evening hindu kids playing outside of 305 apartments. they use the handicap ramp as a playground. screaming, hollering, right outside our apartments. their parents show no concern whatsoever. plus the parents are out without wearing a mask, talking in groups, not social distancing. this needs to be addressed. please do not bring up fair housing, which also applies to me.
