I moved in to this community last Friday and so far I love, love, LOVE it. My apartment is amazing. I originally saw a model of my floor plan which was nice. What I got was exceptional. I'm surrounded by trees and birds singing and have an amazing view in several directions. It's really peaceful and calm. I love the staff in the leasing office and the maintenance people. Everyone has been so friendly and so helpful. I've felt at home here from the second I arrived and I plan on staying for a while. The picture was taken from my front porch my first night there which just happened to be the full moon. No filter or any doctoring at all.

My mother lives here and it is very nice. I love the patio and the room space here! It’s wonderful and it has a great interior design. And the air conditioning works and heating! I absolutely love this apartment. The rent is ok and the people are incredibly nice. I love painting pictures in the Patio, it’s just like so calming! 🎀🎀 And i love where the location is! Me my sister and my mom go to canes and the little shops near here to go shopping for crafts or little goodies, i used to live around here when i was younger and used to go to the donut shop so it brings back memories 🤭. We just moved in recently and being in front of the pool is a little noisy but worth it not taking the long walk down the stairs to it. -LOVE THIS PLACE ✨
