  • Excellent Management/Dog Friendly Complex

    October 26, 2021
    We have lived here almost two years and have enjoyed it very much. The only reason we are leaving is that we recently purchased a house. Very dog friendly and we've met many wonderful people we now call friends by being outside with our dog. The pool is well-kept and has allowed us to stay connected with people even during the pandemic. The pool capacity was limited during this time as management wanted to make sure everyone remained safe even while outdoors. The maintenance team is wonderful ...
    and very prompt at responding to requests. Beth is our apartment manager and does a superb job making sure residents are taken care of. We would definitely recommend this complex to potential renters!
