Review from the web

I can’t say enough great things about this community!!! From the friendliness of my neighbors, the awesome leasing staff, amenities, location and maintenance staff! I’m not an easy person to please but from the moment I called this community, they have been nothing short of amazing! I wish I knew everyone’s name, but I do not! Jasmine, has been heaven sent! Her kind nature, attentiveness, willingness to help and just overall aura makes me feel so blessed to be a part of this community. Ashley is one of the friendliest leasing agents I’ve met. Very down to earth and approachable. The other ladies are just as sweet, not only to me but to my daughter and my spoiled fur baby! Today I really wanted to praise the maintenance staff! T and Cap came to my apartment to fix my dryer and not only were they extremely considerate and professional, the worked quickly, efficiently and went out of their way to make sure that I wasn’t disturbed (3rd shift worker). The issue was super minor but they handled it like it was so important and didn’t look at me crazy for requesting assistance with such a small issue. I absolutely love it here!
