Staff was polite and professional. Only reason why 4 stars instead of 5 stars. Is when moving in apartment a/c was not working. I called maintenance and they came in a timely matter to give one window a/c. Thank you

Such a wonderful experience

Temple and Heather are absolutely amazing. They are so welcoming, friendly, and made me feel right at home. You couldn’t ask for a better group of ladies.

Social Events Over Livelihood

They care more about social events than maintenance of the property. Why would I want to hang out with the same staff that overlooks promises made during lease signing?
