Update! We ended up staying at The Oaks for 2 years. We had the best experience! So happy that we were able to call it home. We've been here two months and we have had an amazing experience so far. We moved from New England and checked out multiple apartment buildings in Lowertown. I am so glad we chose The Oaks. The community, management and building are awesome.
