Amazing Apartments
I moved in when they were brand new and have lived here for 10+ years. The staff is amazing in the office. The maintenance gets stuff done fast. The apartments are spacious and have lots of room and storage. I love that they have washer and dryer. I don’t have to go far to get the things I need several stores close by. The apartments are cleaned outside everyday. Very nice apartments!!
