Review from the web

I’ve lived here at Bullhouse for 2 years and it has been a great experience! Kendall in the main office is simply amazing. She was always very patient and friendly whenever I came down with concerns and questions and I could tell she really cared about finding a way to provide a satisfactory solution to issues I may have had. The apartment was really nice and it is a solid community.
