Recently moved in from out of state. To say that the leasing office staff, Adria, Isaac, and Isabel, were patient and kind in helping me land on just the perfect unit, is an understatement. I walked in to a spotless space & wonderful Welcome Bag, a very sweet gesture complete with some vital essentials and snacks! The property is beautiful and well kept! The location is in prime real estate and close to everything! I had a couple of service requests and Roberto, head maintenance as well as Fanny, were very responsive, polite, and professional. I highly recommend moving here. It’s been the smoothest move in I’ve ever had!
