I really enjoy living here overall. The amenities are great and make the community comfortable, but the neighbors could use a bit of improvement. Unfortunately, there are some issues with sticky fingers, and not everyone is picking up after their dogs, which is frustrating. On a positive note, Becca has been amazing—she’s incredibly compassionate, understanding, and always responds quickly, which I really appreciate. Personally, I haven’t had many problems aside from the occasional stolen... package or missing meal, but nothing too major. Overall, it’s been a good experience!

I love living here. The amenities are great: the pool, bbq grills, weight room, Amazon lockers and even a parking garage (for an extra fee). Staff is kind. Convenient location. I wish I found this place years ago!
