    The staff at the leasing office is so helpful! Colleen is kind and a pleasure to work with.

    Just a heads up to anyone looking to rent here — we’ve had a issue in our apartment for months now, and management keeps giving us the runaround. Someone could seriously get hurt. We’ve brought it up several times and still nothing. If this is how they handle basic repairs, it makes you wonder how they’d handle a real emergency. Sharing so others know what kind of maintenance response to expect.
