Showing 8 highest rated
I have been living at Emerald Apartments since May 2020 after leaving NYC and dealing with the death of my husband of 13 years. Veronica was my first point of contact and from the beginning of the application process until now I have felt home here. Since I have been here, they have implemented resident engagement projects, from breakfast, to door decorations competitions to referral programs. (Being that I’m an HR professional, this is big for me). You don’t feel like you’re just another dollar to the community, but you feel at home. Working with Gladis and Frederick(before he got promoted) has also been welcoming and supportive. They have a user friendly resident portal, they are prompt about addressing your concerns and the fact they are now implementing a new door system for added security just let’s you know they have us in mind. I love living here, it’s convenient, as I don’t drive, I have made this community my sanctuary thanks to the community that Veronica, Gladis, Frederick and their team has fostered. I have referred others to live here because of this team. I have never experienced a more supportive, understanding, reasonable, and efficient residential community than the one we have here. If I could give 100 stars, I would.
