Great community, ammenities and are close to everything in the city south end. We have really liked our unit by the only downside is the massive increase in our renewal which was around $250. We are looking at other options but have loved living here.

Move in was a breeze due to amazing service from Hayley and Catherine. They answered all of the questions I have had, secured my packages I sent over, and reserved the elevator without any issues.

We have loved living here. It’s honestly been awesome. The lovely ladies at the front desk and Concierge have been awesome. Additionally (and most recently) we put it in a work order for repair in our closet. Within 2 hrs of the submitted work order, the item was fixed. Never seen such fast service before. This has made our experience here one in which makes us think we’ll stay another year here.
