I stopped by today to get more info on the one-bedroom units available. Heather was super helpful and showed me a few options. Her upbeat attitude and knowledge made me really like the place, despite some negative reviews. I’d recommend visiting in person. The units are renovated and quite a steal for the price, especially in Sterling Heights compared to other nearby places I checked out.
