I must say that so far everything about the National has been top notch. My wife and I are very excited to become residents there. A very special shout out to Amy Smith. There were some misunderstandings at the beginning of the process and she immediately took care of them in our favor. She was extremely professional and very pleasant about the entire process. The only reason I haven't selected five stars is I haven't moved in yet. I look forward to that this spring. UPDATE: Okay we now live at the National and it's just like it was advertised. Everyone is very friendly staff and tenets. Amy is still helpful and friendly and now there's Mike who is just as great. Tony and his staff in maintenance is top notch and all the concierges are very helpful. I must give a special mention for Blair the day concierge. It's always a pleasure to see her. Hope to see you at one of our happy hours!

I have lived in many apartment buildings over the year, none of them hold a candle to the national. Amanda, Mike, Tim, and team are fantastic. Packages are always delivered safely and securely. The building is always clean. work orders are responded to immediately. the location is next to none. Nothing but good things to say
