I’ve been living here for about 2 months and it has been worth it. The maintenance and staff are extremely nice and helpful. Having that quality of a gym included also makes it worth while.

Other than that everything else is 5 stars. Very close to Aldi, but would be very nice to have a market in the building which I heard may happen. Overall, the experience has been worth it and I can see myself staying here longer than a year.
