Great place to live
October 20, 2025The staff is amazing! They are always so responsive and respectful! Sara has helped me so many times. Over all the staff and the building make the experience of living her so comfortable.Review from Apartments.com
Not good
October 24, 2024This building is cheaply made, only 1 parking spot (costs $50-75). The ac is always breaking, the gym isn’t the best, constant fire alarms and the doors do not work. I highly recommend living elsewhere.Property Manager Responded
