Great Start!

I have recently moved in to the gardens apartments, and my move-in experience was nothing but exceptional. Zoe and Vladimir were of great help and they made sure everything went smooth. The apartment itself was recently renovated. The rent is very reasonable compared to the average rent in SD.
