Showing 8 highest rated
When picking my first apartment I toured many places. None of them felt like home and the management seeemed uninvolved. This was until I found the Sterling Apartments at Kearney. Management is always communicating with you and trying to do their best to help you in all situations. One of my favorite perks of living here is I don't have to change my own lightbulb even and maintenance requests are normally answered same day. I overall love living here and would recommend it to anyone.
