                  The community is near condo homes that often blast loud music outside.

                            I got this unit from a friend. It's good 3+/5. A bit expensive for one unit, I would expect more. Amenities could be better kept and updated. Security could be better with delinquents and pot smokers having around. It is quiet for the most part.

                                              Cheap carpet of a sand color with dark linoleum makes the carpet look horrible. Neighbors keep up lots of noise, There should be a building separate for those with pets. Then they will understand who is lacking in cleaning. Laundry room is mediocre.
