    Great Experience

    I lived her with my boyfriend for two years. It was a great community! We would go on walks to downtown and Washington Park. The pool is a huge plus in the summer, my only complaint was that there was issues with some tenants having huge pool parties every weekend so it became harder to enjoy. However, the units are spacious with very reasonable utility bills. We would’ve loved to stay here, the only reason we moved was to be closer to family.
