    5/5 Tina, B. on Dec 10, 2024

    I absolutely love living at the Dominion High-Rise! The sense of community here is unmatched, with friendly residents and an incredible staff who go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. The location is unbeatable, offering convenient access to everything I need. I especially appreciate that it’s a no-smoking building, which contributes to a clean and healthy environment. The Dominion is perfect for established adult living, and it’s also wonderfully dog-friendly, making it ideal for pet lovers. I couldn’t imagine a better place to call home!
