Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

I've been at Top of The Hill Apartments since 2017 and I can honestly say it's been one of the best places I've ever lived. The staff is absolutely amazing and I can't rave enough about maintenance. Issues are fixed quickly and they are superb, friendly, and always professional. I'm moving because I'd like an in unit washer and dryer and I need a change in scenery since I've been here so long. You will not be disappointed if you live here.
