Showing 8 highest rated

Visited my daughter here for a few nights on vacation. Felt very safe and it was so quiet. She has a beautiful backyard and is often visited by local wildlife. My husband and I are even considering moving here. Loved the floor plan and the property. The people I got to meet (her neighbors) were all so nice.

I've lived here just over a year and have nothing but positive things to say about the leasing office staff. Elizabeth and Jennifer were super helpful when I transfered units, definitely would recommend this neighborhood to anybody looking for a pet friendly neighborhood!
