Water Street Commons

When I first moved here I was extremely hesitant, as living in the city was not something I wanted to do. After viewing a number of apartments, and looking at the area, this place turned out to be great!

The maintenance and leasing staff is helpful. They usually respond within 24 hours. The view of the river from my apt is amazing. The sound is calming. A short walk to Frontier Field, this apartment complex is the perfect solution!
