Reviews from the web

Showing 4 highest rated

This place is under new management and all apartments are being remolded. My husband and I were looking to move here since the prices were great and the new upgrades looked amazing, but we did not go with this place ONLY because it did not include washer and dryer and with a two year old I need one to be washing constantly, but I did want to make a review to let everyone know that Jasmine at the leasing office was wonderful and provided great service. She always answered every question I had and when she was unable to speak she would always return my call. If a washer and dryer isn't a big deal to you then I highly recommend this place as well as Jasmine.
