LOVE LOVE LOVE living here! I’ve been here for a year now and it’s the best place I’ve lived in a long time. It’s always clean, the walls are soundproof so I never hear my neighbors, and I feel very safe. I love that each floor has a recycling and trash chute as well. The only downside is the garage parking is crazy expensive so I have to park on the street but still overall has been a wonderful experience!
