48 Lester Ave Apartments
This is a small, quiet complex with very stable tenants who have lived here for several years. The outside of the complex is very well maintained. The property manager inspects the premises regularly and takes care of any issues immediately. When there are repairs needed, the property manager responds promptly to make sure the problem is fixed right away. The location of this complex is very convenient.
