I hate moving, and I hate dealing with rental related issues. However, living here has been the most positive experience with apartment management and maintenance that I have ever had. Any place can update your appliances and provide amenities (both of which this complex also does), but it is hard to find rental management and maintenance that are this easy to work with. This is my first apartment where I don't dread putting in a maintenance request or contacting the office. From the day I called to ask about a vacancy, manager Jennell has been responsive, understanding, compassionate, reasonable, fair, and friendly. She treats all residents with the utmost respect, and ensures that you feel welcome to approach her. The maintenance staff members are also friendly and helpful, and speaking as a young woman I think it’s important to say that they have only ever made me feel safe and respected, which is a big question for many when finding a new place to live. The only reason I will not be renewing my lease again at the end of the year is due to a career move, but this is the only place I've lived where I would go back and live again, if the occasion arose. I always recommend it to people who I know are looking in the area.

When my daughter had to start school AND move to a new city in the first summer of the pandemic I straight up panicked. But then she found this apartment complex and sent photos and details (which EXACTLY matched what she moved into, a rare treat these days) and I felt as if my parent’s prayer had been answered. As we helped her move and in my many visits to the complex since, I have been constantly reassured as a parent and impressed as a former renter with what she gets for the remarkably reasonably priced rent she pays. The amenities are top notch — they even provide the doggy bags for those walking pets! And keep the doggie bag dispensers on every corner full! The dumpsters always have room for more, and maintenance staff goes above and beyond on helping tenants. This is a VERY dog friendly complex. While everyone takes their responsibility seriously and keeps the grounds immaculate, I have heard some random barking from surrounding apartments, but always briefly (they got a delivery, or momma came home) and never to the extent that it disrupts sleep or enjoying television. When you live among dogs, you expect them to bark sometimes and honestly, the complex feels that much safer with so many dogs protecting so many apartments. Some hang out on their little terrace and bark when another dog walks by on their leash, but I’ve never seen loose dogs, and the ones we greet are always pleasant and nonaggressive. It’s a dog lover’s paradise but if you expect total silence 24/7 from a rental complex, you might be better off in no-kids, no-dogs complex. Life is noisy sometimes. I love this place for that feeling of security of knowing someone is always nearby, and neighbors are very friendly in helping each other out, delivering misdirected packages by delivery people, taking care of each other. I usually sleep there when I visit and always sleep soundly, and feel safe going to my car in the middle of the night. We know the maintenance guys and the complex manager and all of them bend over backwards for all their tenants, no matter what. I am actually going to hate to see her leave this place when she graduates.
