Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

Toured a single bedroom apartment with Jennifer. She was very helpful and informative in answering all of my questions/concerns. The building itself is nice and new with plenty of space in the unit as long as all hallways and one elevator. I was especially impressed with the kitchen. All new appliances with lots of cabinet space. It’s a nice, modern apartment. And management is very flexible in terms of lease structure. Safe to say this place is at the top of my list when applying to apartments.
