I had the most amazing experience with this apartment complex. I came in with no appointment and left with a feeling of certainty and being absolutely blessed. The renovated apartments are beautiful. LaShanna was hands down the best leasing consultant I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I move in Monday and can not wait to officially call The Beacon my home!

The staff here is highly dedicated to the needs of the community as well as the tenants. For many reasons I enjoyed walking through the door. First Kena was very lovely and the tour of the apartments was very nice everything looked new . Also the grounds was superb they have a big pool and club house . Lastly the staff appeared to be more than friendly , respectful and kind . Thanks!
