    The apartment complex is very well polished, and management does a great job dealing with both upkeep and resident support.

    I've been here for more than 12 years and hope to continue to live here. I've outstayed many managers. Our current manager,Shannon, is better than nearly every one since I moved here. While there are some things I would like to see improve, overall her management style works for me.

    3/5 Ginna E. on Jan 18, 2023

    We've had the same manager for several months now and that alone is an improvement. However, I'm still struggling to have my request for a reasonable accommodation addressed- and it's been more than a year.
