I have lived here for about a year now and have no complaints! The staff are super friendly and maintenance has been on top of every request that I’ve had, which hasn’t been many because there has rarely been anything wrong in my unit! The complex is very quiet and I have never felt unsafe which was a big concern of mine going into my first apartment on my own! Also love the giveaways and other things they do to show their appreciation for their tenants.
