Do not move here

I got no problem with the room, but no parking … they will ask you to park in the middle of nowhere… and anything can happen to your car. Everything I buy something I have to do back and forth from alllllllll the way where I park in the middle of nowhere to my bedroom.
I don’t want you to experience this situation

I am moving here!

The new property management company clearly cares about the property and their residents. I will be moving here with my husband and cannot wait to make that happen! This is by far the nicest property we have gotten the opportunity to look at!
