  • 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!

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.
