Love living at Berkshire on Main. Moving in was easy and fast, Daniel in the leasing office made it work, going over and above for me. Also the manager, Chelsea, made sure to take care of any issues I had, and to get me any information I ever went in to ask about. They are always having events with raffles and giveaways, and work hard to make it feel like a community. Can’t recommend it enough.
