Absolutely so pleased with the accommodations at The Sawyer. I love my new apartment. The office staff were professional and helpful and made it the most pain free move of my life.

I just can't write enough good things about my time living at The Sawyer, the property manager is simply outstanding. It's really hard to find well managed properties but Sawyer is definitely one of them. The Property Manager Lavetta is on top of anything that may require attention, whether it's a repair request, or anything you may need related to your stay. I also want to give special credit to the maintenance team. They are simply excellent and friendly. I just can't write enough good things about us living here. I highly recommend The Sayer apartments, you won't be disappointed living here as the Staff is truly exceptional.
