Spacious, cozy apartments. The atmosphere is wonderful, with mature trees and shade. The property is kept nice and tidy. The staff is quick with solving any problems that arise. The manager (Heather, so nice!) always goes out of her way to make sure tenants are taken care of. She is always running around trying to keep all of us happy, and will actually answer her phone at 10 pm (I still feel bad about calling that late) if there is something wrong, (like a light not working, aka bulb went out🙈.) It's such a nice peaceful community! Definitely recommend!
