I am currently in my second year long lease agreement with them and I am very pleased. They do not claim to be a low-income housing property, and this is one of the reasons my partner and I chose the complex. Despite this, their prices are actually very reasonable considering the location, size of the units, etc. They are quite welcoming of pets, their on-site maintenance staff are friendly and have always responded quickly to our admittedly few issues. The office staff have always been courteous, polite, professional and kind when I’ve dealt with them and now that we have a renters portal where we can pay our rent automatically we literally have no complaints. I highly recommend ANYONE to rent here.
