        November 18, 2021
        I’ve been living here for 6 years and I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. Maintenance attends jobs quickly and the front office lady’s are nice. The complex is pretty clean and quiet. The location couldn’t be better as it has easy access to major highways and it’s right in the middle of town with major stores within a 2 minute drive!
