I moved into my new apartment two weeks ago. I love my little apartment!!!
Management has been wonderful and supportive as well as the maintenance team. Looking forward to warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor amenities.

So far it’s been pretty good here just getting settled in here while starting a new chapter in life, there seems to be a lot of things offered here I will take advantage of like the pet washing station

Not too bad of a place…make sure you get to know your neighbors and pick up your dog poop. Other than that all good.
The place is pretty clean and our landlord is pretty cool.

I’ve had a good experience so far and everyone’s been very friendly. Good customer service
The apartments are a bit dark and outdated and the big pipe in the living room could be covered up. The apartments could look nicer. pretty basic
