Review from the web

Lived here for 1 year in one of their 1 bed units and had a great experience. The unit was very clean and recently ungraded when we moved in. The maintenance staff is great and the grounds are well maintained. Any maintenance request is responded to promptly. The management team is so kind and even helped me retrieve multiple packages after I moved out. The only reason we moved is bc we wanted more space and a larger unit and there was not one available at MN. Only downside to the property is the parking can be a little difficult if you come home late & AC would be nice.
