Reviews from the web

Showing 2 highest rated

I have been living at Building 6 (in a studio unit) for over a year now & love it. I've done quite a bit of research to try & find an apartment with comparable amenities at a lower cost and have come to find that this really is one of the best apartments when doing the cost / amenities analysis. Plus, since our building manager changed to Jori, I have had an even more positive experience. Highly recommend!
