Review from the web

I loved my time that I lived here! Unfortunately I only lived here for 5 months as a missionary. The apartments are pretty nice, especially on the North Side of the complex, great neighbors, always felt safe, never felt like suspicious activity was going on. I never saw the cops which is very surprising for an apartment complex. Staff was always very friendly towards us and always willing to help. The only problem I had when I lived here is an ant problem....not terribly bad but they're there. they come out of nowhere no matter how clean the place is. But there is an option to get your apartment sprayed once a week. I'd recommend this place!
