    March 26, 2023
    This apartment complex is brand new. Nice amenities and staff. Understand there will be construction around as other buildings are built. Lived here for 1 year and is in a great location. Inside of building is kept clean and large parking lot.

    Review from Apartments.com

  • Lots of Problems

    August 21, 2022
    When I first moved in I was promised many different things as amenities. None of those have been completed in 4 months. My AC has stopped working 4 times and this last time it stopped working, it has yet to be fixed and it's been a month, at some times it was almost 82 degrees. The apartment was dented and lots of things were in bad shape when I moved in. It was a new build when I moved in. The apartment manager does not care.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
