Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I recently toured Solstice. Estefani helped organize the tour and allowed me to check out different units at my own pace. She even helped pick units that were better located within the apartment according to my requirements and answered tons of questions that I had. Overall, my experience was great and I'm about to sign a lease. I will update my review once I move in and stay here for some time :).
