My experience living here for a year now has been above expectations. I chose this apartment complex because of the trees, although I didn't realize all that foliage would cover my car in the morning. The trees and fence block the sounds from the surrounding area and break up the noise a little from the neighboring building which is nice. It has given me a sense of calm, unless neighbors bring their drama outside (insert eye roll here). When that happens I just make a bag of popcorn and take a seat on my balcony and pretend im Jerry Springer. The amenities are fantastic, but no Jacuzzi which I am fond of. The staff are fantastic and helpful, and the maintenance team is top notch and personable. If you choose this place to be your next home, beware of giants living above you and don't forget to get a car wash every now and then.

Shout out to the staff and maintenance team. Incredibly helpful and friendly. The apartments are surrounded by trees that makes it feel like there's a forest outside my balcony. And besides the very rare rude neighbore, it is very quite. I know I have giants living above me but its very subtle noise if any. The pool is huge, the gym is great and the staff promotes community gatherings. The location is fantastic with being close to so many great restaurants and shops. 10/10 would recommend!

The parking could be better. Wish they had assigned parking. The trash disposal system isn't ideal either but neither issue is a deal breaker.
