Alterra apartment staff get a 5 star from me for their superior service. Eva and Ashley in the office are very friendly and caring. When we first began looking at Alterra I immediately noticed how willing Eva was to go out of the way for us, she took us to see 6 or 8 apartments I think it was. And she was super helpful to guide us through the application process. Whenever we call for a problem with our apartment they have someone out to fix it super quick! Today we had a refrigerator just suddenly stop working on us, I called the office and Ashley told us they would have someone stop by to swap out our broken fridge! I swear within 10 minutes of calling, a very helpful gentleman (I feel bad I already forgot his name) had a whole new fridge at the door! We had all the food out and the new fridge set up in record time! Excellent experience!!!👍👍👍
