Oakwood Manor Apartments: One of the cheapest places that close to downtown! (Recommending!)

2008-06-24T07:36:22-06:00

From gills85: Very close to downtown with a short walk in the summer or cheap cab fair in the winter. Building is shaped in a "U" but those with units on the interior side don't really hear neighbors unless there is a small party. Seems like a lot of college students own ...
