My stove locked and Alan Murphy & Chris Williams (maintenance men) were very helpful and prompt. They had resolved the issue within 10 minutes. Really great service! The complex is also very nice!

My experience with the leasing agents of Valora has been amazing! Everyone has been so friendly and cheerful and efficient in helping me with all my questions and getting settled. I’ve had to come repeatedly to make sure I wanted to move here and they were more than willing to accommodate me. My leasing agent was Trinity and she made the experience seamless!
