I dropped in for a tour. Mr. William didn't hesitate to show me around. I was greeted with the warmest greeting I had ever encountered during my apartment search. If they had 2 berms available I would have applied immediately. Mr. William did tell me about their many other properties which I will check out. Thank you sooooo much Mr. William!!! and Borger Mgmt.
