Review from the web

Spent multiple years here. Not bad except for typical apartment renting bothers like a stomping upstairs tenant. Maintenance was fast to respond and management was communicative. My favorite perk was the abundance of street parking but you HAVE to pay attention to the non-parking days with the random days it says not to park on certain sides.
