The experience here has been pretty good. The walls are a bit thin and navigating the building is a bit difficult. The staff has been very helpful and the neighbors are friendly

I had an outstanding experience working with Sabrina during my leasing process at The Beacon at Groveton. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered.

Sabrina made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail, quick follow-ups, and warm personality truly set her apart. She genuinely cares about the... residents and takes pride in her work, which reflects in the excellent service she provides.

Thanks to Sabrina, I felt confident in my decision and truly excited to move into my new home. She is a fantastic representative of The Beacon at Groveton, and I can’t recommend her enough.

We absolutely love it here!
Kept so clean and nice. Love how we have a covered parking garage and not hard to find a spot ever! The trash shoot is always clean and not nasty. The nail place is super nice downstairs! Love it all

Unfortunately, so far I’m not pleased with the cleanliness of my unit here at the Beacon. I recently moved into a unit with roaches. I’m sad to learn that after your many units. I hope it’s able to be rectified. I love the location, style and amenities just don’t like bugs.

Deon, we are disappointed to see your low star rating. I see that you had put in a work order last week for pest control. We have researched the work order history on your home and have found no previous work orders in for this issue. We are... confident this issue, while not something we deal with wit h often in our community, will be able to be taken care of by our reliable contractor. If you have any questions regarding your upcoming treatment, please contact our office.
