    The best place to live in downtown Columbus, close enough to walk to everything but also far enough to feel like the suburbs. The staff are wonderful! The gym is the best for an apartment complex. Parking easy and not a pain.

    So far everything has been great. The staff and office have been great; however, there is a train track that js almost on property that has trains running at random schedules. We were told that they run sparingly and only during the day…well, during our frist night, we learned otherwise.

    The staff has been amazing to work with since the day I inquired about the property. Alex was a dream and did everything she could to make my desire to live here a reality. The maintenance staff, mainly Joseph, is amazing, prompt, and skilled. I have been very happy with my choice to live here and am making a home here.

    The City is worth every nickel of dollars I pay to live here. I love the flexibility of the Smart Home feature and I love the almost perfect gym! And I have to say I am grateful for the coffee machine. My only but is the carpet in the hallways needs to be paid attention to every now and then before the unthinkable happens

    I have overall liked living her, I have struggled being by the pool with the noise in the summer so keep that in mind on what unit you picked. I have also had some trouble with the noise since there are so many units right next to each other. The size for the price is great, having a basement and a back patio has been amazing and is what really pulled me in. They have gone through 3 managers but the most current one seems to be working hard to improve the the grounds which is nice.
