    All around great place to live

    I've lived here for over 2 years and absolutely would consider living here again if I moved back to the area. The grounds and premises are well kept. Pete, the current property manager, accommodated all of our needs and made sure everything was to our expectations during our stay here. It is comforting to have a property manager like him that really cares about the property he manages. Walt is a fantastic asset to their team - friendly, knowledgeable, skilled and a fun person to talk to in… passing.

    The property is in great condition. The location is super convenient, being in close proximity to the Lower Mills village. This makes for a quick walk to get a bite to eat, grab drinks, or do your grocery shopping, without the need of a car. In addition there are multiple bus stops and train stations in the area for commuting, also within minutes.
