Showing 8 highest rated

Our Maintenance guy Ryan has been the most helpful person at Mission Hills so far. He shows up when we need him, and gets everything done that we ask within a more than timely manner. He is one of 2 people here that take care of over 300 apartments! He is on top of it!

My wife and I just moved in a few weeks ago and were greeted by Addie who works at the leasing office, she was super kind and supportive with answering all our questions. Ryan was also really helpful and we appreciate the hard work he and his team did to finding us this solid unit. The community is great and I have no complaints about our apartment. I would say the gym could use more equipment but other than that this place is solid.
