I typically do not write reviews but Taylor the property manager and Mike the maintenance manager are truly a pleasure to work with. If I ever have a question or concern, they address it quickly and promptly. How refreshing to work with a team such as theirs.

We compared every listing in the surrounding area to determine which amenities are most common. If a building lacks an amenity that most others in the area have, it is a con. If a building has an amenity most others in the area do not, it is a pro. Similarly, price, schools, and size are calculated relative to the size, price, and distance to schools of the other properties nearby.
