I toured the apartments recently, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great this community is. The manager gave a great tour and took the time to understand my needs. I found the price for the 2-bedroom units a great value considering the space. They were spacious and the community features a lot of amenities and included a gym. Overall, very impressed.
