I have lived here since 2020. The location is very central, and public transportation is frequently available on either side of the apartment building. The amenities are well maintained and the commons spaces are always attended to.The maintenance team is friendly and always ready to address our concerns. The management team is the best my family and I have experienced during our time here. They truly make this place feel like a community. Trish and David are superstars, and I will always be grateful for the effortless work they do to make my family and me feel safe and cared for.
