Loved it!

I lived in a one bedroom at this community for 2 years and me and my boyfriend loved it. We moved here from Florida and it was our first apartment that we ever lived in. The office staff was extremely helpful and everyone was nice.ā€¦Ā See More >

    Lived at the spot for a good year and had no complaints. Staff was friendly. I wish there was a weight bench in the gym but free weights will do. The biggest downside to being in that area is all the food that is aroundā€¦Ā See More >

      I currently live at the birches and canā€™t wait to move out. First I moved in to an apartment that wasnā€™t even ready for me to move in. The carpet was just sprayed as you can tell they looked like they attempted to clean it.ā€¦Ā See More >

            I currently live at the Birches and while I don't have any complaints about the office staff, maintenance on the other hand is ridiculous. The quality of the work that they do says that they don't care because they don't take pride in the workā€¦Ā See More >

                  I moved out due to it being managed terrible and the safety in the complex has gone way down since i moved in. It is not kid friendly or family oriented. The price is way to much. When escalating to Thalhimer, just like on sightā€¦Ā See More >

                          I enjoy the surrounding area and neighborhood. However, the water bill is extremely high. They claim there is only one meter and it is divided up based upon the number of occupants in the apartment. I have a family of 3 and I pay overā€¦Ā See More >
