Conveniently located, well maintained, and nicely updated community. The grounds are nice with thoughtful touches like a dog park, playground, and well placed trash cans. The amenities like the clubhouse and pool are very nice as well.
The biggest highlight has been the staff. Everyone I have interacted with has been polite and helpful. Management was great with my unexpected need for a quick move in (after another community wasn't up to snuff). They also followed up to see if I have needed... anything after I moved in. The maintenance/ground crews are friendly as well!
I would absolutely recommend to this community to anyone looking in the Olympia/Lacey area!

The move-in experience was great. Caitlin and Melissa helped me with getting all the move items completed. Hunter helped with all the maintenance which were required after doing the move-in inspection. The apartment location is also great with Safeway close-by. A peaceful community to live in.
