My wife and I stopped by today for a tour and we were positively blown away by your property manager, Angie! She is a kind, genuine, down to earth person and truly a credit to your company. Even if your apartments weren't as nice as they are, I would STILL want to live here just because of how great of an impression she gave us. 10 stars out of 5!
