    • Nice Apartments

      February 21, 2017
      I've been here 6 months, and it's pretty decent. Quiet building with security locks. Older appliances, but working. They don't replace much around here. Office staff is pleasant and helpful. Worth taking a look, if you're looking for a reasonable place.
