For almost nine years I have resided i this community. I have had the opportunity to meet many of the building staff over the years. The maintenance team continues to be a valuable resource to the enjoyable conditions I have experienced.

We just moved in a week ago and it has been wonderful. I love everything about this home. Everyone has been so welcoming. My kitties love the windows and space to play. We love having no stairs (I use a cane).
