Melinda in the Leasing Office is a true asset to your company! From our first visit to tour an apartment for rent, to today 3 years later of living in the Aurora building, Melinda has always been so helpful and kind each time we needed her help! She always makes herself available to answer any of our questions, with a pleasant smile!

Ms. Quiñones was very helpful and the building was very nicely kept. I like the fact that it’s a non smoking building and wish the Wentworth was also non smoking. I also wish there was a way to see a two bedroom before signing a lease. Even if it was scheduled ahead of time for the date it vacated.
