Great place to live. Near most everything.

STAY AWAY…. They always have water and sewage problems and shut your water off for entire days. The dumpster area is a complete mess. The manager lady is terrible. The heat never works. They have raised the rent about 200 dollars since being under new management. They will start a court process illegally without notice if you don’t catch them. The place is just not worth the money. Parking cost too much so their is really no one using it so that leaves no street parking available.
