Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

When I first moved in, my initial review was not so flattering. There were some issues that have since been corrected to my satisfaction. The apartment is roomy and comfortable, with a nice wide deck overlooking a lake complete with abundant wildlife. Management is very responsive to concerns/complaints/maintenance. Staff is always helpful and kind. That is very much appreciated. I have truly enjoyed being here. The location is so convenient to everything.
