Remodeled bathrooms, recessed lighting, and light wood-look vinyl plank flooring pair with soft neutral walls and generous natural light. Layouts are designed to use every square foot, with ample closet space in every unit and USB outlets throughout. One bedroom homes run about 500 square feet; two bedroom homes run about 750 square feet and are available in one bath and one and a half bath configurations. Smart home upgrades including a Nest thermostat, smart coffee maker, and Fire TV are available for an additional charge.

Amazing

I used to live in this complex back in 2000s and it was not good. I just visited again in 2023 and submitting my application! Amazing Renovations! Best in class for sure!
