Review from the web

Amazing property in a great location, right outside of downtown Clayton. They did a great job preserving the history of the Mill while renovating. There are so many amenity spaces!! Definitely worth touring the property since there aren't many pictures yet while they finish up construction.

Review from the web

I recently just moved out of the Arbors to get closer to work. Let me first start by saying out of the four apartments we looked at before moving here last summer, The Arbors set themselves apart the most by how responsive and helpful they were with everything. Most places will move you in and then ghost you when they get you to sign the lease and moved in. Every single service request, question, or concern was taken care of right away. For example, my fridge had a small issue at 9pm on a Sunday. Called maintenance and had to leave a voicemail. Not even 2 minutes later I was being called back and they came right out and took care of it quickly. Tanesza and Heather are the reason we loved living at the Arbors. When looking to move in, if quick responses and actions being taken are important to you and you want to feel valued for your business this is the place to be.
