Hi, I am very pleased with the service I had today with my maintenance order with Justin! He was very personable professional and down to earth. He went out of his way to help me get my issues resolved. I have lived her since 12/2012 and he is the nicest person and most helpful I have ever received ! He deserves a raise he is a keeper! Thank you so much

The apartments are clean, renovated, and quite spacious. The property itself is great, looking even nicer with the upgraded office and gym. The office and maintenance staff are very professional and courteous. It’s located in a family friendly area with schools and shops nearby (even a Tesla supercharger down the road for you Tesla drivers). I highly recommend living here.
