Leslie is a very good manager. She is on top of everything,and keeps everything looking nice and clean. The apartment complex is a nice place to live. It is located close to nice restaurants and Walmart. The bistro and the lunch box and the hills bar are walking distance away. The apartments are being upgraded. I enjoyed the 5 years that I lived there, no complaints

The property manager Frank at this property is amazing!! He is very helpful with anything you need and he makes your living experience on the property very pleasant. He doesn't give you a hard time at all, and always wants to help you with any problem you may have. Best property manager I have came across by far.
