2009-04-18T18:06:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Built in 1983, this complex is being allowed to disintegrate. The new owner, Northland Investments, evidently is wanting to squeeze out every last dollar it can before selling the property to a developer.

2008-03-06T12:11:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Vaulted ceilings, great view/access to Great Hills Park, small and secluded complex in a good location, I loved this place when I moved in, but now it is slowly degrading.

2007-01-30T15:20:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This community is slipping into the category of "seedy" even though they're currently painting and recently replaced rotting wood siding (one building was almost condemned because of rotting wood under the balcony).
