    Not a bad apartment, good location and noise is pretty good most of the time. Staff is nice but maintenance is pretty unhelpful and the amenities are nonexistent

    I’ve appreciated the friendly staff and great look of the flats! Free drinks in the clubhouse daily and extra events with food have been an added perk.

    There have been a few ups and downs within the community but I really do enjoy the apartments here. My dog is happy with all the space we have. I’ll be moving into a unit on my own in August and I can’t wait!

    I liked living where I live overall, even though it wasn’t perfect. It’s a bit far from campus, which can be inconvenient, and the hallways sometimes smell like weed, which isn’t ideal. But aside from that, everything else has been solid. The place itself is comfortable, and the staff are great—they’re helpful, responsive, and make living here a lot easier. Those positives made the experience decent enough for me.

    Everyone is typically kind and respectful. I haven’t had any consistent issues without them being addressed promptly. It’s usually quiet and that’s how I like it.
