I recently moved in to Freshwater apartments. The whole process starting from when I initially applied has been great. Sandra is amazing in the office and such a genuine spirit. Kantrell is always quick to respond to any maintenance issues and gets them handled quickly! The building is in a great location close to everything. I’d also like to say that the walls are NOT THIN at all. I never hear my neighbors and when my windows are closed, I literally hear no outside noise. Very well structured! I am happy to be a resident at Freshwater.
