Showing 8 highest rated

I have lived her for 5 months and absolutely love my apartment. The pool and the new fire pit with the comfy furniture are a great area to relax at from a stressful day at work. I love the downtown atmosphere and the close proximity to the freeway as I travel to Phoenix twice a week for my work. Ryan was an absolute gem when it came to any issues I encountered with my out of state move ensuring a smooth transaction when I arrived two days earlier than my expected move in date. I love the fact that there are a variety of professionals that are my neighbors which makes living here an enjoyable and peaceful experience. I would definitely recommend moving here..
