    Great Place to Live

    I've live here for 2.5 years, never had any issues with neighbors, I always see children having fun outside, pretty quiet, the staff has always been kind and professional, and they always fix any issues asap. I'm going to move out soon to move in with my boyfriend and I'm honestly pretty sad to leave.
