    I have lived here for 5 months. The leasing team is courteous, responsive and very helpful. Our move was easy and efficient. If you need any thing repaired, it is simple; you submit a ticket on line and the response is immediate. The neighbors are nice and I really appreciate this family oriented community. So happy to be here.
