    Great office Staff

    We have been here over 3 years and have loved it. The office staff have always been great to us, even when we had an issue with a downstairs neighbor Christine was very understanding and reassured me that everything was fine. Both our dog and daughter love to visit Christine and Erika in the office for treats lol We never had any major maintenance issue but one time and it was taken care of right away. The location of this apartment can not be beat. Living above the QFC is super convenient and… to have the Safeway across the street is a bonus.
