    I have lived in The Commons for close to 20 years. Since Security Properties Residential has taken over, living conditions have vastly improved.

    Only move here if you don't mind being constantly presented with letters posted to your door about things management intends to do to you whether you want the things changed out, worked on, nailed shut, or not. Then of course, we have the constant rent raise to cover the "improvements" that aren't really improvements.

    A nice place to live. Except the parking lot management opens to the public during the day making it almost impossible to find a parking space if you leave for an errand and return. Caregivers and visitors take the way to few spots we have. Our parking lot should be closed to all but residents all the time and tow companies should enforce it. Otherwise nice place to live.

    After having to downsize from 2400 sq ft of living space to 535 sq ft, I tell my family and friends just how satisfied I am with the layout of my apartment I have and all but one of my children have visited to check it over. My family seems to be satisfied as well.

    I have lived in my apartment in the senior building, The Commons, for nearly 20 years. Since Security Properties Residential bought The Commons it has been much improved. The managers are very nice, the grounds and the recycling/trash room are kept neat, maintenance requests for my apartment are quickly taken care of. It's close to public transit, I love living here.

    I have had very positive experiences when maintenance was needed to the apartment. The issues were addressed quickly. Morgan has been very professional about resolving issues,and very helpful with any follow-up needed. I feel confident when I ask for assistance at the management office.

    Overall I enjoy living here, the staff is friendly and professional. I had an accident in my home and paramedics had to be called, How I was helped prior to the EMT arriving by the staff was terrific. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. I appreciate the hardworking staff and the property reflects that.
