Review from the web

I toured here a couple weeks ago and Gina was very welcoming and helpful the entire time. She was sincerely interested in helping me find a place and kept me updated on availability at The Avenue as things come and go off the market quickly. The facility and apartments are quite nice, and I know any resident would be in good hands with such kind and attentive staff. If you’re looking to move to the area, make sure to stop by!
