I love living at the Shelby! I have loved calling the Shelby my home for the past 5 years. With wonderful views, neighbors, restaurants and activities within walking distance, and the best management of all — I could not be happier. Rochelle was amazing in helping upgrade my floors in my apartment to match the new floor plans offered to new residents. I feel safe living in this prime downtown location and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great apartment.

Rochelle is an amazing property manager. She knows the residents and goes above and beyond to put on celebrations, as well as accommodate for us. Lots of friendly people who say hi. It's a great experience getting to know neighbors. It is an older building, but maintenance is great at fixing things promptly
