The Cardinal Apartments are convenient to so many things ranging from restaurants and services to food store. Sam’s Club and Walmart are just up the street as well. The apartment complex is very nice with a super gym and pool complex. The folks who manage the apartments and maintenance are quick to act when you pass questions to them. We’ve been here a month and we are very pleased that we are here.
