Taylor Is The Best.

My experience since I've been a resident here has been awesome. I've had minor issues but Taylor made sure things were taken care of in a timely manner. Taylor goes above and beyond. Very respectful and kind. And I appreciate that.ā€¦Ā See More >

        This is not a luxury community. This property is full of preventive problems mostly caused, ignored, and exacerbated by the staff. Once you sign your lease, you are basically on your own.

                        Would not recommend this place or stay where again. The staff were very unfriendly. The place had bed bugs!! Also very over priced for what you pay for. I would not consider these luxury apartments. Good thing was the location that is all.
