Living at Chroma was really wonderful and I am sad to be moving. The community and staff are extremely nice and the amenities are great.

I have lived here for over seven years. I have seen many different tenants and staff come into and leave the community. I have felt a level of indifference from the office staff and a lack of cordiality from the residents of this community. I do enjoy the relationship I have with the facilities management. Their commitment to keeping with their appointments and the upkeep of the property is the only sign of continuity I have experienced.

Been living here for few months now and it has been great! The apartment was very clean when we moved in and we have loved getting to know other people that live at Chroma. Maintenance and the office staff have been helpful with anything we have needed! Highly recommend!
