I’ve lived here for a few days and it’s great! Very nice, clean spaces with top amenities. Everyone is super helpful and the concierge is a nice touch. Area around us feels super safe and has a lot to do and going out places. Overall very quiet.

The staff was unhelpful throughout the entire lease signing and move in process. I went in sight unseen and it was very difficult to even receive a video of the unit without having to contact the leasing team multiple times.
