  • LOVE living here

    March 26, 2024
    We’ve been here over a year and love living here! Apartments are clean and great, many have only had one or no previous renters as it is relatively new. No bug problems (which is a plus downtown). Great walkability to restaurants around the corner. Street noise bounces between buildings but not bad. I’d recommend living here!
