Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

Wow!!! I took a tour of the new Venture Apartment property and I am truly impressed! The apartments are very nicely laid out, have a lot of storage and closet space, and the property has tons of amenities. Among the amenities that Venture boasts are: a lovely salt water swimming pool - complete with cabanas, a very nice outdoor grilling area, a very nice outdoor kitchen area, a clubhouse, a fitness center, an indoor pet washing area, and more! I took a lot of pictures, so be sure to give them a look! This is a really awesome property!!! I would reccomend this apartment to anyone looking to lease something pet friendly, yet quite upscale.
