Excellent experience - we only left due to relocation to Brooklyn

We loved living here. The maintenanace staff - Abe in particular - was fantastic, and response was extremely fast during the few minor instances we needed it. The free cable was awesome, the apartment was spacious, and we felt very safe. The grounds were always well-maintained, including during Winter (which in Rochester can be 9 months of the year, lol). The folks in the office were extremely nice, and I honestly looked forward to stopping by just to say hello sometimes. Nancy, the manager, is awesome and really cared about us as tenants... that's not a usual thing. The gym was great and convenient - my fiance loved the pool during the warmer months.

I've heard people complain about parking, but I honestly never had an issue, even in the winter.
Other things to note, that we enjoyed:

- Having a deck was awesome. I wish our tiny Brooklyn apartment had such a luxury.

- Walgreens being right next door is super, super convenient.

- I traveled alot while my fiance lived there full time for grad school, and neither of us ever felt there was a reason to concern for her safety while living there, at any point. The tenants are friendly and either families or students, usually graduate-level and more mature. The doors had 3 locks - deadbolt, knob and chain lock - so even if we had any concern (which again, we didn't), I think that would elleviate it.

- Very accommodating to our cat, $25 extra we didn't mind paying.


We had a second floor, 2 BDR apartment and honestly loved it. If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact me and I will gladly reply :) Thanks to the staff for a wonderful year there!
