    5/5 Diana T. on Sep 26, 2021

    Love everything about this place, except the one way in and out of Kelly Lane. High way is always congested and the circle is a death trap. But love The Willows. Once you get in, your home.

    4.5/5 Charisma W. on Feb 1, 2023

    I am so fortunate to live here. It's located in a beautiful area, good schools, safe environment, updated apartments, and very clean. The only things I would have loved to see is a community gym and the paint that is used in the hallways, isn't the best choice. It's easily dirtied because it isn't a white paint that can be cleaned off. My advice would be to use a paint with maybe a gloss? or that's easy to clean. When people move in with heavier items, it can scrape the paint and cause the hallways to look uncleanly. The maintenance guys are always cleaning the stairs though, they are also always kind. Other than that, it's a great place to live.
