    We've called University Glen home since 2015, so you know they're doing something right! Everything you could want in terms of location and apartment amenities is available here! Large windows with wide sills for your favorite plants. Well designed layouts that cleverly give both space and privacy to each unit. So many businesses, parks, the library and other places of interest in walking distance. Police and fire a stone's throw away for a sense of safety. The best school district for your kids and the best city in the area. All of this and more are some of the reasons UG is our choice for home and will continue to be. But at the end of the day, a lot of apartments can be quite nice and have much to offer. So what sets UG apart and above and beyond any competition? Without question, our manager, Janet and our maintenance maestro, Rene. I can't think of a more professional, kind, caring, accessible, authentic person than Janet. She is an absolutely amazing person who brings all her skills, imagination, patience, kindness and humor to her job. She feels like family to me! Rene has shown himself to be the best of the best at his job! He assesses things so quickly and he does the work needed with such skill and perfection. But equally important, he is incredibly personable, a true joy to talk with, and someone who makes me feel valued . He's a great new addition to our community. Thank you to Janet and Rene for being the best at what you do and being here at UG. You make a difference and you matter to all of us who live here! To anyone debating about moving here, I urge you to stop in and take a tour. Meet Janet and Rene. The decision to move here will be an easy one!
