I've lived here from almost 5 years come january,granted the rent went up but I applied to renew my lease and got approved. Wasnt sure what to expect in a newly renovated apartment but WOW they are worth every bit of my monthly rent and belive me I've searched and up to this day,this location continues to be the best value in the market. Lots of thanks to dunmire and especially to miss shyann rogers she is the bomb. Honest,precise and works swiftly. Thanks miss rogers,hope to make it another 5 years.
