Best apartment I've Lived In !!
November 24, 2020The management is amazing, I believe Virginia the woman who helped me move in has worked here at this apartment for 10+ years! She is great with communication and helps you in anyway once moved in. I really loved how fast the maintenance showed up for smallest or big things that needed fixing right away. Also very kind. The grounds always look kept up l, which was great for my lil pup to run around. With doggy bags around the complex for your convenience. I always recommend people to live here. ...In fact got a friend from out of state to move in ?.. you will not regret living here.
