My experience living at Lumos Apartments was simply incredible, not only because it was very well located in the city but also because it completely transformed my life. Here I arrived single in a small studio, here I met the woman of my life and here came the most precious thing in my life, my daughter. and in all these steps, the Lumos team was with me and helped with what was needed in more cozy units for my family. the team of professionals at Lumos is simply phenomenal. If you are looking for a positive evaluation because here you have not only an evaluation but a recommendation. you will not be disappointed. Thank you Lumos team for providing me with a home and being part of the story of my life, this will never leave my memory.

I was going through divorce and my life was a little crazy at the time when i was searching for apartments i came across Lumos and got interested with it, the units are gorgeously well thought specifically the huge windows that gives natural lightings during day time and the majestic lighting from outside during evenings, this place is cozy if you are into esthetics and thats what got me signed in for this apartment, staff are all quick to respond and very helpful, my move in date was originally the first of June yet i places my orders or bed and furnitures and they got it at an early time, reached out to them and take care of everything even if i was not there yet. Lastly id like to thank Amanda and Seth for my huge transition, the process of my application was handled by them both smooth sailing, I remember when Amanda showed me the unit i was right then right there told her to sign me up, did the application later the day i got the instant approval and wallah im a Lumos resident. Thank you guys♥️
