It is not a bad apartment. Amenities are nice, clean, up-kept, but the walls are so thin. My upstairs neighbor and my side neighbors play really loud music. Really early in the morning and as a person who works a lot and only can get so much days off to sleep in , this is really annoying. I understand we are in an apartment complex and that is how it is, but not all of them have really thin walls like this one.

Wasn’t sure what to expect moving into an apartment from a house but I must say it has been fabulous. Not just the apartment living as that is still taking some getting used to but The Cardinals and everything about it from location to amenities and the friendly staff and tenants it’s such a fabulous experience.

I love the Cardinal.
Location, safety, parking, amenities, the new maintenance team… all are fantastic.
The building and landscaping are clean and sprayed for bugs (big win). The rent is more on the expensive side, but you get what you are paying for—so long as they don’t raise the prices.
