  • Nice place to live

    April 23, 2022
    I gave 4 stars because nothing is perfect no matter where you live. Good location. Staff are friendly and take care of business. They respond to issues quickly. Generally a quiet environment. Ample parking & no hidden fees. Spacious apartments.

  • Great Place to stay!

    January 20, 2019
    This is a great place to stay. The apartment located in a nice place and just takes 5 mins to enter the freeway. Centralized heating makes the whole apartment comfortable. Especially the maintenance guys are really awesome and maintain the apartment perfectly. I love parking. The indoor heated parking is a perfect treat during the snow time. On an overall, it's a great place to live with the compared price!

  • I love this place!!!

    August 29, 2015
    I've only been here for about two weeks and I love it already. I had to choose my apartment through pictures from my emails and they lived up to the pictures. The service here has been great. The apartment is in great condition! I love it!!
    Review from Apartments.com
  • Not all that....

    August 15, 2015
    Old, no thrills. Location gives it the second star. But other than that, the first star means I am grateful to have a place to stay.
    Review from Apartments.com
  • No problem so far

    July 20, 2015
    We just moved in for about a month now and they have been more than helpful. As long as you pay your rent and obviously be friendly. We had issues with our bed took. Multiple tries over multiple days to get it in and every time they would open the garage door that was only for people that pay for it no problem. It also amazed me that when we moved in our shower head was old and leaking, as soon as we put the work order it , it was fixed the next day. To be honest I'm very impressed so far and ...
    have no complaints except for the neighborhood it's in but even then we are in the upper part which is better. Oh and Good bus route downtown or monroeville.
