          The new laundry room in building 27 looks very crisp and clean. The white paint definitely brightens everything up. The folding table was a nice table and will be out to good use! Good job! Thanks again, David

                I have had a few problems but nothing I couldn't handle. Overall it's been pretty good. The dog park could use ramps so those that are handicapped can get in and out of it. Fix sidewalks that are broken and uneven.

                      One of the best apartment communities in the south side of Des Moines! The location is pretty quiet, close to shopping centers, the staff are nice and it has good amenities such as a gym and pool. I would recommend this apartment community.

                                                It is a quiet community with very friendly and helpful staff. Perhaps a low intensity light at the dog park would add to the safety at night and cleanliness. 24/7 access to the fitness center, common laundry, and business center are a plus.
