Despite the management having multiple fires to put out when I first applied, they have taken such amazing care of me and for my move in. They are truly diligent in following up and helping to the best of their ability. The maintenance crew is also wonderful at getting things taken care of quickly and making sure you’re safe and comfortable in your new home. I truly look forward to living at the Retreat at City Center, especially with the fantastic individuals I’ve had the pleasure of meeting thus far that work here.

I have lived here for about 7 or 8 months now and felt that at this point I could leave an honest review. Originally I was going to make it simple and to the point, then started reading some of the other reviews. I personally love it here and from reading some of the most recent reviews I feel that there should be some clarity on the trash issue. Yes, they are having an issue with the trash but the office did send out a letter (which is attached) that clearly states something is wrong with the compactor. They even brought in a new dumpster! The office staff have been nothing but gracious and kind to me since moving in. I think my apartment is great and look forward to resigning my lease. Thank you. Update** I wanted to update my experience here at Retreat. Things have been great and enjoy living here very much. I really enjoy how peaceful this community is.
