I came to view this location when the staff was still in a trailer on the site; they were professional and courteous then and that still remains today. I love my new apartment! The Laundry and Trash on the same floor make it easy and convenient. No more driving to the gym, today I walk to the beautifully designed gym on site. The beautiful resort style pool and jacuzzi helps me maintain my active lifestyle. The wi-fi provided in the clubhouse is an additional plus as well. The staff works hard to keep us happy and having fun. Close to shops, school and lots of nearby hiking. Lots of special touches inside my apartment that make my life easier!
