I love the amenities—parties, the pool table, the swimming pool, and the fitness room.

The location is great for working on Fort Jackson. There are so many stores close by, too, within walking distance.

I wish we could somehow meet more neighbors.

Brandi has been very professional. I needed an apartment quickly, which she was able to accommodate. My longer-term needs were for a larger unit, which she was able to address

Front desk people and manager are very helpful in resolving issues related to the apartment. We just moved in here to SC and there are good places to eat in walkable distance. Grocery stores like Lowes and Trader Joes are also in walking distances. Overall a very good neighborhood.
