    I've lived here for several years and I don't regret it. Thank God!

    Mark and Fabiola really go out of their way to keep up with everything here and they are both very personable and professional, as is my experience. The complex is kept clean, and maintenance is quick and efficient with repairs. I have lived here for quite a few years and couldn't ask for a better place.
