    5/5 DS on Nov 2, 2023

    I have now lived here for about 16 months, and just resigned my lease for another year and a half, it's a great area, very safe, and the apartment staff really take care of the grounds and buildings. I feel like they really try hard to make this a friendly community through social events, pet contests, etc., I wish I had more time to participate in such things. It's somewhat expensive compared to other rental options in the area, but I don't think you'll find a safer area around Albany.
