We moved in last August. This is a perfect place for people who value a quiet environment. The noise cancelling is very good. Since we moved in, we have never heard our neighbors noise once. The gym has 2 floors, very solid equipment. Jose is a super responsible guy. He’s super fast at fixing things. We submitted the request one day, and he came in the next day. Laura is a super nice lady. Do a great job as house keeping as well as keeping the entire place clean.

Living on Excelsior has been incredible! It's incredibly peaceful, and the location is just perfect for me. The moving process was a breeze thanks to their amazing staff. Sadie, in particular, helped with the application and patiently answered all my questions. She's been absolutely fantastic to work with, making me feel right at home from day one. Plus, the complex and building are impeccably maintained. I must admit, I wasn't quite ready to sign a new leasing contract, but Sadie exceptional service and professionalism were the deciding factors for me. She truly goes above and beyond!
