Review from the web

LOVE, LOVE LOVE this apartment! Absolutely beautiful place to live and call home. Just moved here a few months ago and I have nothing negative to say about this place. The staff was so much help and makes it their priority to build relationships with residents and is always willing to help with anything we need. The amenities are top notch (washer and dryer, amazing pool, awesome gym, coffee machine, common areas, dog friendly, great staff, perfect location, valet trash, dog park, dog wash, bike shop and storage, shops, free parking, and much more) it’s so clean and the property is well kept. I highly recommend this place and has made my transition so much easier when moving to Columbia.
