Showing 8 highest rated

Love living here! The townhomes have a great design! The soundproofing between homes is amazing, you do not hear your neighbors. Any issues are addressed quickly. The grounds are kept clean & beautifully landscaped. My only complaint (which we knew moving here) is there are no amenities like a pool, BBQs, etc. Overall, totally recommend!
