We've lived here for about 3 months, and so far I've enjoyed it. Our apartment is a huge 3 bedroom with an amazing layout, much better than any other I've seen. It actually has an 8 ft. island in the kitchen! (We have the Begonia plan.) The office staff has been super nice, even helping me with a personal rush on a scan and email situation, and the phone is answered right away when I've called. We've only had two minor maintenance issues, and that was immediately resolved. The grounds are very well lighted, and everything has secure access. I love how the interstate, restaurants, and stores are SO close by. What a time-saver! I'm a plant person, so I'd like to see more foliage, like crepe myrtles for color, but it's a new place so over time, I expect it'll look more lush. This overall design of the community is city/modern industrial so if you like that vibe, you will love this place. An FYI -you can walk to the Charleston Ale House.
