I’ve had a great experience living here. The apartment is clean, well-maintained, and in a convenient location. The management team is responsive and helpful, and any maintenance requests are handled quickly. Overall, it’s been a comfortable and enjoyable place to live.

Great first apartment! Great amenities, location, and staff. Workout room is also great as well. Love my balcony, and floor plan is also great

I absolutely love living at Core! The move-in was easy, and the apartment was in perfect condition when we first arrived. It felt like home the minute we stepped through our front door. The community has also been amazing - our neighbors are all super friendly, and the neighborhood around the apartment truly feels like a safe place to be. I will always recommend Core Apartments to my friends!

Move in was very easy, unfortunately there was no one around for us to ask questions. We also didn’t see any neighbors or people to ask or meet. Felt a bit lonely and deserted. Not welcoming. The bright side was the apt was extremely well maintained and clean.
