The community sits near Jordan Creek Town Center Mall with 117 restaurants within a mile - a good fit for social life with walkable mixed-use spaces and dining nearby.

Review from the web

I’ve lived here just under a year and I love it! Such a quiet area with great amenities. The gym, pools and clubhouse are clean, updated and open when you need them. The office and maintenance staff understands customer service and how to treat their tenants. There have been a few maintenance issues with my apartment but the team was quick to make them right by any means necessary. If you’re looking for your next apartment I would seriously consider Broadmoor at Jordan Creek.
