Showing 8 highest rated

I've been living here for about a year now and I have had many pleasant experiences with the maintenance and leasing team. Steven was amazing at getting my lease and all related info completed in such a quick and efficient manner since I needed a place to live ASAP which made it very easy and stress free for me. The maintenance team is very respectful and understanding of your space when they need to enter your home for maintenance or repairs.

My wife and I have been living in these apartments for almost a year now, the community is very friendly and polite, very quiet. This place has lots of activities such as a gym, a pool, a volleyball and tennis court etc. It is also very pet friendly as well as having a dog park. Their maintenance team does a great job at keeping the apartments well kept, they are very helpful and respectful. Our leasing Consultant Steven has done a great job since the very beginning from helping us setup our lease to being able to contact him whenever it is necessary. He has made our experience here a breeze. Overall the staff and community is great!
