    June 15, 2022
    I have lived in 3 separate units in this complex. This was my first apartment out of college living on my own, and after living somewhere else for a year after that I had to come back. Absolutely loved my experience and wouldn?t be moving if not for my career. Tani is the best and has set my expectation for all leasing offices going forward.
