Been staying at these apartments for a while, it’s a great quiet, clean place to live. Definitely love how the river is nearby. The process of moving in was great. Chester (the property manager) is always very helpful with the help of his fellow co-workers. The maintenance team is very respectful and helpful. Love how there is plenty of visitor parking, and open space. They have two units with a pool on each side and the pools are amazing during the hot weather. Kid friendly and pet friendly. During the holidays they would have activities or things to do for the residents there etc. everyone seems to be friendly and welcoming here, definitely a nice place to live.
