THIS REVIEW IS FOR BRIAN, NOT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. Brian was super helpful and accommodated to us and then some! He explained some of his situation to us, and we really really hope he is hired for our maintenance crew! We could really use someone like him who cares about tenants and their homes. Thanks so much Brian! We appreciate you!

I've been living here the past 3 years and had a wonderful experience. Friendly staff and efficient maintenance crew. Any requests were fulfilled in a timely manner and professionally. The property is clean and located in a nice and cozy neighborhood. Restaurants and gyms are a few minutes away which was a big plus for me.
