Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I have been a resident of Gardens for the last 3 years so far my experience has been amazing, the way they organize the parkings is great taking into consideration that if you have to work overnight you will always find your spot , maintenance is a plus! specially the kind lady that is always on Hoffman those hallways are spotless and she is always willing to help. If you have small kids age 2-5 they have a little school in the same complex. Is safe to walk at nights and staff is really friendly.

Been living here for a while, no problems at all. Wish the laundry room was open later, not all of us work 9-5, and it closing at 8pm is inconvenient. Could one laundry room be designated as a late-night one maybe? Also a shout out to Albert on the maintenance crew, we had an emergency plumbing situation and he was great. Quick, polite, good information and fixed the problem the next time he stopped by. Definitely went above and beyond, if his supervisor is reading this he's great, hope he gets some recognition.
