    Great location!
    - walking distance to a nice park, grocery store, Starbucks, lots of restaurants, and Oakridge mall (no need to deal with parking just to see a movie!)
    - short drive to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Homegoods/TJMaxx, BB&B, or Costco
    - Easy access to highways 87 and 85

    Recent updates include:
    - bocce ball court
    - well-equipped fitness center (with a rower and kettlebells!)
    - fitness studio room with spin bikes, TRX, and virtual classes on a big screen TV
    - hammocks
    - community BBQ
    … areas and fire pits
    - package lockers (no worrying about package theft)
    - small, enclosed dog park space

    Leasing office and maintenance staff are quick to respond.

    Separate AC/heating in each bedroom and living area if you're on the third floor!
