Showing 2 highest rated

We moved in after the new management took over and so far it’s been good Jen replies quickly whenever we have any concerns or maintenance requests. They have been doing a lot of repairs lately and it’s looking better than before and our apartment had all new appliances when we moved in so the apartments themselves look nice now.
