    Nice friendly staff and residents. Great to have a gym on site. Many stores nearby including a grocery store next door. Walmart and other stores less than a couple of miles away. Nice apartment complex.

    Overall a positive experience. Nice facilities and amenities. Minor inconveniences: ethernet cables had been snipped and maintenance would not fix (had to re-crimp myself); apartment finishings seem fairly cheap (door handles, shower heads). Overall nothing that would cause me to choose anywhere else, it's a nice community with great amenities, friendly fellow residents, and helpful and responsive staff.

    So far so good! We just moved in and are loving the convenience of the location and the amenities. Move in was great - we immediately, easily and safely walked to the Lowes Grocery Store for supplies and then to Boca Grande for dinner. The gym is amazing. The halls are quiet and smell good. Everyone in the complex is nice and friendly. Parking is a breeze and the unit was spotless when we moved in.
