    Not the best place to live. People at the office charge you way over rent amount. It is not as affordable as other apartments. Have to work two jobs just to afford it. I only work one job and they keep charging me for no reason. Dont live here.

      June 20, 2018
      Hi there, I'm sorry you feel you're being overcharged and aren't enjoying living at the Highlander. The lease you signed with us is a legally binding contract that dictates what rent amount you're charged each month. That amount doesn't and can't vary. Perhaps there's been a miscommunication? I'd like to help resolve any problems you're experiencing, can you contact me at jenny@stevebrownapts.com?

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
