Aimee, my leasing consultant guided me throughout the move-in process, was extremely helpful, and made me feel secure despite the overwhelming feeling that comes through every move. She answered all my questions, was honest, and was quick to provide the information I needed to move.

The complex was somewhat questionable when I first moved in. Aimee the leasing agent has completely turned everything around. She’s quick to respond she’s always there to help she never makes you feel like a bother. She really gets things done
