Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

We lived here for 4 years. Quiet and safe neighborhood. I would like to extend my appreciations to the following staffs, Brenda, Rebekah, Julie, Juan and Carlos. Especially on our last day, packing is kinda stressful, thanks to Carlos V., who was there on our last few hours, he was very kind and helpful.

Julie brown is a fantastic on site manager. Very welcoming and friendly and made me feel right at home. And she takes time out of her day to say hi to my dog, which he loves! Also Juan is super helpful. Comes very quickly for maintenance and is very friendly. Carlos is fantastic too. Always super helpful and kind and the dog loves him! And Angelino is fantastic. Great to have friendly outgoing maintenance crew who make it feel like home. And the dog absolutely loves him. Thanks for the caricature angelino!!! It will stay on the fridge forever
