Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

We are very happy with our apartment at Ironwood Gardens. The neighbors and office staff are friendly, maintenance takes good care of the place, community events are enjoyable. I would give it 5 stars, except the dishwashers don't work (as in everyone I talk to says their dishwasher is only effective at getting things wet, not cleaning the dishes) and having a dishwasher was pretty important to us. We wish more families with kids lived here, as it's a great school district, with a great park nearby, a nice pool, plenty of grass space, and a sidewalk that circles two lakes (great for kids bikes). - - (Update) We are enjoying a wonderful new dishwasher, thank you Ironwood staff! Best apartment community we've ever lived in. Very happy here.
