I am a resident here at Donovan Village and I must say, I enjoy the quietness and cleanliness. The manager Lynda M. Is a great, loving, and considerably nice lady. She is always smiling and greets with a positive attitude. She takes care of her business, she is direct and straight forward if there happens to be an issue. She will get it situated. Thanks for my wonderful time here at Donovan.

The maintenance guy Joander was super nice and very professional! i had a plumbing issue and he fixed it right away! very fast and efficient communication was great he told me every set of the way of what he was doing he even waited while I showered my newborn to make sure the water went down any time he has come to my home to fix anything he does it in a timely manner and fixes the issue right and right away I would differently recommend to always ask for him as one of the maintenance guys he is the only one I ask for and trust to come into my home will I’m away !! Great job Donavan village for picking him as the maintenance man .. I been here a year in a few months and I’ll continue to renew my lease because this isn’t just a place where they take ur money it’s actually a place we can call home I’m very comfortable 💕
