I had the pleasure of working with Nicki, a fantastic leasing consultant. She went above and beyond to assist me in finding the perfect place to live. Her deep knowledge of the properties, excellent communication skills, and friendly demeanor made the entire leasing process smooth and enjoyable. Nicki's attention to detail and willingness to address all my questions and concerns truly set her apart. I'm incredibly satisfied with her exceptional service and would highly recommend her to anyone in search of a leasing consultant. Five stars well-deserved!

KMG was the management for this building. The staff, Nicki, Lindi, Ashley, and maintenance, Tyler, were the best and always a pleasure to work with whenever problems arose. It is truly sad to see them depart from the community they built. I was a little blindsided when Friedman Real Estate Group (FREG) suddenly took over management on 06/21 without advance notice. I hope the transition is smooth, and that they could continue providing the best service to current and future tenants.
