Great Onsite Manager & Excellent Property

February 17, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

We rented a one bedroom here and then rented one of the two bedroom units. Both units we rented were on the first floor. The property is very well maintained. All the common spaces are clean, well kept and comfortable. The units are clean, well maintained, and comfortable. The underground parking is spacious and there are always available spaces. The Bike Locker in the basement is secure and spacious. The extra storage units available in the basement are a real luxury and make small living much ...

easier. I can't say enough about how responsive, caring, and professional the onsite management has been during our stay. We moved into the Thistle in April of 2021 and continue to live here now (Feb 2023) and are very happy with our choice.
