I’m really glad they fixed the elevator. The amenities are nice and common areas clean. Would like there to be better care around the parking garage; it’s definitely sketchy late at night.

I love it here! Everyone has been so welcoming! I’ve gotten to try so many new restaurants and the Pilates place down stairs! I really like the gym and I really like that I can park my car on Friday after work and not have to drive at all while I’m at home because everything is so close!
