I’ve lived here in a 2 bedroom for the last 7 months now and I have to say, I lucked out here. The building is new and clean, the price is right, and it’s walking distance from all of downtown. Maintenance requests have been done in a timely manner. The property manager is very accommodating and will help you find solutions if you need anything. 10/10 would recommend
