The Shay
May 23, 2026 - Review from Apartments.comI’ve truly enjoyed living at The Shay. The building is beautiful, well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere feels welcoming and comfortable. The amenities, cleanliness, and location have all made my experience here great. I especially want to recognize Tommy for being outstanding. He is always professional, helpful, responsive, and genuinely cares about the residents. Every interaction with him has been positive, and he consistently goes above and beyond to make sure things are handled ...smoothly. Having someone like Tommy on the team makes a huge difference and adds a personal touch that makes The Shay feel like home. I highly recommend living here.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
