These are good apts
I found the 1bdrm nice size, there was a waiting list to get in these apts when I moved in, I got very lucky. Maintenance is excellent, and fix any problems quickly. Laundry on site, and I always felt save. Easy on line to pay rent, the only problem I found was the residents who don’t seem to know what a garbage can is used for. In the middle 78, and 22.
