Great Place to Be
Building staff are excellent and responsive. Rhonda was very helpful in assisting with my lease renewal and is always responsive to any requests or inquiries. Very pleasant to deal with. Maintenance staff, especially Andres, is quick to deal with any issues. Great location and a very social building, which the management office helps promote with various events, etc.
