Showing 4 highest rated

This was a great apartment to live in. The management was very professional and the on site manager went above and beyond. It is an older building so it had its quirks but it was in very good condition. The neighborhood is amazing. I highly recommend checking it out.

Great location, good privacy and sense of your own space, only complaint is squeaking wood floors.
