    I have lived here for 3 years and each year I love it more and more! Juan and his maintenance team do an amazing job and are so friendly! My work orders get done fast and right! Definitely recommend living here. And it’s awesome to have Whole Foods below us!

    Great community, ammenities and are close to everything in the city south end. We have really liked our unit by the only downside is the massive increase in our renewal which was around $250. We are looking at other options but have loved living here.

    Move in was a breeze due to amazing service from Hayley and Catherine. They answered all of the questions I have had, secured my packages I sent over, and reserved the elevator without any issues.

    We have loved living here. It’s honestly been awesome. The lovely ladies at the front desk and Concierge have been awesome. Additionally (and most recently) we put it in a work order for repair in our closet. Within 2 hrs of the submitted work order, the item was fixed. Never seen such fast service before. This has made our experience here one in which makes us think we’ll stay another year here.

    It’s a wonderful place to live. There are a lot of great amenities, the pool is very large and there’s always more than enough space for everyone to be outside even on a Saturday. The gym is large and with a view of the city and pool. 10/10 amenities.

    I love living here! It's so close the light rail and Whole Foods. I like having a concierge. I enjoy the common space, especially the pool. I like that parking is secured in a garage.

    Great apartment complex, but the shortage of EV chargers is a serious problem. I won't be able to continue living here if this isn't resolved. It's the only thing preventing a perfect review.

    Thank you for your review! We know EVs are becoming very popular, so we are certainly looking into hopefully being able to accommodate this in the future!
