December 22, 2025Generally a good place to live in a great location. The apartments are nice and well maintained with good layouts. There’s a secure parking spot. Facilities are clean and well maintained. I wish some of the facilities, like the gym, were bigger so there would be more availability in peak hours. Some of the security features could be upgraded as well.Property Manager Responded
