I've only lived here since Saturday. So far it seems safe. Not a fan of the road noise you can hear from the pool or that you can't make a left turn when you pull out. It's close enough to town but not in the… See More >

    Very friendly staff in the office, maintenance responds quickly, nice apartments and community, gated with access to app which can open the gate, wish rent was a little cheaper or some utilities included but overall so far we love living here.

      I was unfamiliar with the rental pricing policies and how they can fluctuate during irregular time periods, rather than on simply a yearly basis as usual. Laundry facilities could stand to be updated. But this living experience is an Improvement from last housing facility overall.

                  This is a great apartment community. The community is quiet and welcoming. The apartment community is clean and well maintained with a great Manager who cares and goes out her way to satisfy her tenants. I would not have stayed no other place.

                                          Everything was great until we encounter a major issue with the roof leaking. It took over a month to resolve. This is unacceptable! As for everything else, we had a great experience. The community is very clean and safe
