    Lived here for two years. The manager is super sweet and she is always making herself available for tenants. It's safe and clean. Study room is very convenient and tenants are really friendly. Management is very accommodating :)

    4.5/5 Gene M. on Nov 1, 2024

    Best manager, best maintenance, best amenities, best location, etc etc. Wonderful place to live. I've lived here over 50 years.

    4/5 Anonymous on Mar 11, 2023

    Pros: The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful. The package/mail system is great. Having a pool and gym are nice to have. Cons: The old carpet in the hallways has definitely triggered my asthma. The washers and dryers are inconveniently located and constantly breaking.
