I looked at 6 other places before moving in here. ALL of them were close in price, but NONE of them were as nice. Granite counters, washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances, etc.. are not things you will find in any other place around here without paying hundreds more in rent. Everything else I looked at had white walls, with old white appliances and those funky press board cabinets. This place has real wood! I do think the carports are a necessity but they charge extra. So far, it's worth it.
