    August 15, 2015 - Review from Apartments.com
    We actually love our apartment, it's nice and quiet since most who live here are military. We have the occasional party on Friday nights, but other then that everyone here is really nice, :) it's a great first apartment! Management is always lovely to work with as well

    details
    The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
