    Quiet living close to campus

    Life at the Monarch is surprisingly peaceful, being so close to campus. With the hustle and bustle of students getting to class or people getting to work, The monarch seems to have a bubble of peace over it. With their monthly pest checks and quick replies to maintenance requests, nothing is left to the unexpected.
    What they lack in amenities, they more than make up for with storage. The Manager, Ashely, is very quick to respond to any concern. I would say she has solved any problem I've had,    … but honestly, she stays on top of things so much I haven’t had to complain since I moved in. Truly a peaceful community, sitting so close to chaos. The Monarch had proven to be an oasis, letting the outside world melt away, leaving only peaceful nights.
