Review from the web

This is my first place I've ever rented at and so far have had no complaints. Every time I or my roommate has noticed something that isn't working right or something needing fixed, there has been a maintenance worker there in 24 hrs to fix the problem. It's in a great neighborhood and I haven't had to worry about snow or ice in the parking lot in the winter! Great place and no complaints!
