Great management
I signed my lease during the summer to rent at the U next year. The process was easy and management answered all my questions.
They recently had to make some changes to the move-in date and set up very reasonable accommodations for all tenants during the expected delay period. So far 5/5 for management and customer service.Review from Apartments.com
