I lived here for several months before moving for a job, otherwise I would not have left. Best apartment complex I have been in by far. Owners really want to make this a top spot downtown, and make sure all tenants feel welcome. The price is extremely reasonable for downtown. Management is amazing. I had a thermostat break one night, and I was expecting them to get there over the next couple of days. They sent someone that night! Great location. It is within walking distance of court and 300, but not so close that you have the noise issues. Parking is a breeze as well.

The elevator has worked the whole time and LivLavender has been accommodating in my experience, even helping me on Sundays!
