    5/5 Theodore R. on Sep 2, 2025

    Been living here for about six years and have never had any issues. Staff and maintenance are great!

    5/5 Jacob B. on Apr 1, 2025

    Perfect match for people looking for a more afordable apartment. The location is convenient to shops, buses, schools, hospitals, parks and trails, yet, you will feel like you are in the middle of a forest, when you look outside your window! Another great feature: it’s pet friendly!
