Review from the web

Gina helped me with touring the community and apartment and made my transition to living here great! I’ve been here less than three months and it’s been great. The only downsides have been the parking when it’s after 7pm honestly. And the walls are definitely thin. I live below a family of 4 and two big dogs so the noise is frustrating at times.
