Cozy, Safe, Satisfaction Guaranteed
October 14, 2025The unit is spacious. The built-in appliances are new and modern (AC unit, microwave, oven, induction, washer & dryer, ref & freezer, dishwasher. The building is safe.

Outside the unit, you can use and enjoy the community amenities: the lobby with touch of archival past, the community living room, conference room, theater room, gym, bike room, pet wash area, community room which has TVs, a billiard area, and more. The place is in the heart ...of the town, near to banks, park, city hall, grocery, hardware, autoshop, restaurant and more.Property Manager Responded

Safe, Cozy and Modern Living
October 8, 2025I have been in the building since September 13 2025 and I am quite satisfied with the amenities of the apartment especially the common areas. It’s cozy and clean. Most of all it’s safe. The only downside is the internet because we are on the basement, the signal is weak. Other than that, no qualms.Property Manager Responded
October 10, 2025Thank you for the kind words! We are glad you are enjoying the apartment, common areas and overall safety! Please contact the office and we can try to figure something out regarding your internet!

Modern and great Amenities
September 24, 2025My experience at The Archive has been wonderful. I've lived here since May 2025. I really enjoy the modern style of the building, the private dog park, grooming dog station, the secured keyless entry to the building and the theater room. I have never felt unsafe in my apartment. The management and maintenance teams are professional and quick to address any issues.Property Manager Responded
