Great Start!
December 21, 2021I have recently moved in to the gardens apartments, and my move-in experience was nothing but exceptional. Zoe and Vladimir were of great help and they made sure everything went smooth. The apartment itself was recently renovated. The rent is very reasonable compared to the average rent in SD.Property Manager Responded

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.
