Wonderful experience with St. Johns Forest Apartments! The application process was quick and simple! I moved into the place I toured without any issues of the dwelling (it was very clean and nothing was broken) and the community is great!

Five stars for the maintenance crew - quick to reply to calls. The emergency team came out on a Sunday to view a leak from the heavy rain. They came back Monday, and said they will work on the problem the next day. Thank you!
