    The City is worth every nickel of dollars I pay to live here. I love the flexibility of the Smart Home feature and I love the almost perfect gym! And I have to say I am grateful for the coffee machine. My only but is the carpet in the hallways needs to be paid attention to every now and then before the unthinkable happens

    5/5 Bradley F. on Jul 29, 2024

    Great and fun place to live. Amenities are top notch and everything is very clean and new.

    I lived here at Springburne in the early nineties for 4 years then bought a home. I had to move due to health reasons, as I needed a one floor plan. I thought about checking with Sprinburne since I had liked living here and needed some time before I decided on what to purchase. I have lived here for three years now and I'm not sure that I want to leave. It is so convenient, livable, clean, quiet, and the staff is exceptional. I would highly recommend looking at Springburne of Polaris if you are looking for a nice place to live.
