    I just moved to this complex a few months ago and I am so impressed with the complex and the perks and the security and the staff and the cleanliness. This is not my first experience with downtown living in my area but It has by far been the best!

    This is a great place! Location can’t be beat. Staff on site are wonderful from the office to maintenance, it is a great team! Assistant manager is not the best but everyone else makes up for it. The only issue is paying the rent. Never lived somewhere that made it so difficult to pay! Even debit and credit options are very limited and it takes nothing to be completely blocked from paying online even using a guaranteed form of payment like a credit card. If you don’t mind old school bill pay, it is ok. It is too bd because this is literally the only drawback.
