I have to say for apartments that I have lived in or been to the people are friendly and pretty quiet and the manger is helpful and respectful and almost everybody has some kind of dog most of the ones I have seen are pits and most apartments don't allow that kind of dog

I can't thank Donna and her team enough for how fabulous they were during my time of transition! If I had an issue with my apartment they were quick to respond and get it taken care of. Never having lived in an apartment I was a little uncertain, I loved the location and felt safe! Thank you so much for all you guys did for me while I was there!!
