Great staff, great apartments. Very happy to live here. Maintenance is very prompt, facilities are clean. Mail is safe. Packages are kept safe at the front desk and organized well for pick-up. Leasing staff are on-site, so paying rent is easy, as is communicating any issues.

This is a very comfortable and enjoyable place to live. Highlights have been how friendly and responsive all the staff are all the time, and how incredibly thick the walls are. This is really nice because so many people have dogs. I rarely hear them or any neighbors, and I can movies and music at pretty decent volumes without worry about disturbing my neighbors. On the subject of dogs, the pet scene is bopping. So many good dogs in the dog park. So many cute cats in people's windows. - From a verified resident on ApartmentRatings
