    5/5 Laura G. on Jun 29, 2023

    I've lived here for a wonderful 11years and plan on staying along time more. The staff manager Shannon does an exceptional job in all aspects. Stall member always smiling and very friendly and helpful. She does an excellent job of making you feel so comfortable when you enter the office and very accommodating with needs and questions. The maintenance team always complete any repairs and leave everything clean and tidy. The location and grounds make you feel like resort living.

    4.5/5 Mary on Sep 28, 2023
