    The maintenance staff is wonderful. They have an automated system to answer the phone which I do not like. It is a virtual assistant. The grounds are well maintained. They call it luxury living but it is really just an average apartment on the nicer side. Floors have lots of scratches from previous tenants. Kitchen appliances are often ding when you get them and the ceramic floors can be chipped. The room and the apartments is very nice they're large the fireplace works great. Elevators are nice. ...
    Hallways and garages are kept clean. Overall rating of a four

    Other than the WiFi reliability being poor in my experience. This is a very clean place with nice people and very responsive workers and maintenance! Lawns could use some landscaping and birds like to nest inside of dryer ducts. It would be nice if the doors in the hallways wouldn’t slam so hard as people are always coming in and out in the middle of the night and that door slams right next to my apartment waking me a lot.

    The office and maintenance people are a pleasure to deal with here. Whenever there has been an issue they have taken care of it. Only a few maintenance issues needed attention but the system and the people responded promptly.

    I love living here, the staff is wonderful, maintenance is reliable, quick, and quality work is done. Love the size and layout of the apartment. Love the pet stations and all of the options for walking my dog, love that I can have a gate at my patio so I can sit out there with my dog without a leash. My only complaint is snow removal. The front walk doesn't always get shoveled and sidewalks are dangerous. I'm 64, have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis in my hip. I moved here so I didn't have ...
    to shovel. I just can't do it anymore. There are salt buckets at each exit, and I do salt, but salt takes time, and a lot of the sidewalks aren't completely cleared either. My rheumatologist recommends walking and my pup needs walking. But when it snows it's just not safe for me to walk. I did renew my lease as I do love it here with regard to everything else. I just wish snow removal was better.

    The staff in office and maintenance are so wonderful. If you have any problems they are on it. Close to Casey's, HyVee and Fareway. Walmart and Dollar General is close. Plenty of restaurants to choose from. Did I mention laundry in apartment.

    Living in this apartment has been a great experience. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet and welcoming. Management is friendly and helpful, and maintenance requests are handled quickly. I’ve felt safe and at home here, and I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a quality place to live.
