    5/5 Verlinda G. on Jun 9, 2021

    I have been a resident at The Marque at Heritage Hunt for 8 months. My entire experience from my first tour, move in and being a resident has been nothing short of wonderful. My resident experience has really been amazing since Eddie came on board as the new leasing office representative. Eddie is extremely responsive, approachable, patient, friendly and just an overall consummate professional! Whenever I needed to place a service ticket, Eddie ensured that my request was handled in a timely manner and he's always quick to follow-up and be sure things are completely in a timely and professional manner. The complex is well maintained and very safe. I felt very comfortable living here during the pandemic and it has truly felt like home. It's a wonderful gem and having responsive and caring professionals like Eddie to be sure it stays that way just makes it even better.
