This is by far the best apartment I've lived in! The Leasing Office treats me and my husband with so much respect, you can tell they care about taking care of you. The maintenance crew are always ready to fix anything you need. Rent is easy to pay, and the neighborhood is so family friendly. Its definitely the safest environment-especially for those in the military that are moving here for the first time and don't know what to expect. Would 100% recommend these beautiful apartments to anyone in need of a home, temporary or not.

Awesome place to live. I believe in customer service, up keep and proper maintenance. While living here for almost 2 years thats what i received. They always have people there keeping up with the trees, roofs, and maintaining the parking lots. When i needed things fixed Conner would go out of his way to make sure that everything was up and running and Meghan and Conner would always ask to make sure it was still working when i saw them. The customer service definitely is spot on and Conner and Meghan helped me when i moved to Fort Bliss. Can’t wait until i can go back to Washington from my new duty station. This will definitely be a place i look at living until i can find a house to buy. Thanks Harbor Oaks for employing great people that really helped me. Adam Franklin
