have been in this apartment for 4 years now, and i can say with my experience so far i can categorically say its one of the best if not the best in this environment. The staff are well mannered and ready to help you out, the security is good and the maintenance is always ready to heed your call. I dont have problem renewing my contract after expiration. I love this apartment complex ....

This apartment complex is awesome. When I first moved in a had a plumbing issue behind walls that caused us to transfer apartments. The office staff not only credited me a very fair amount but ensured the next apartment was to my liking. The ladies here are super friendly and very proactive about resolving your issues. I have not had a work order take over 48 hrs and I just want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the staff. Thank you for always being prompt and ready to service us. This was truly truly a great decision for me and my family of 4. You ladies and your maintenance staff are awesome. Complex is quiet and everyone keeps to themselves. Definitely recommend a move don’t let the old rating numbers fool you. There has been a HUGE change and it’s positive
