Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I had lots of help and support from the leasing team especially Tony M. and Abel S. They answered all my questions and helped me move in here smoothly. I also like the room layout despite finding it unconventional at first. Close to the mall and other grocery stores so this place is perfect for me.

I called this week to speak with community relations and spoke with a delightful rep named Scott. Super friendly. I explained my situation and he got me in touch with the maintenance team and got Andrew and Dario to my apartment to take care of my problem I have been having. They were super quick to help me out and they were super friendly. Definitely thankful they were quick and helpful.
