Review from the web

I have loved living here. Anytime I go to the office it is such a welcoming experience. Brandi, Ruby, and Katrina are always going the extra mile to make the scott a wonderful home. If you haven’t been to an event, go, seriously! Mark, Phil, and Ryan on the maintenance team are so friendly and work so hard to create a comfortable living environment. Beyond appreciative of the attentiveness and friendliness of the whole team! Rent is affordable and staff are easy to communicate with, which is a must have when picking your next place to live!
