    love living at copper beech. very spacious and fun events at the club house. during the hotter time of year i spent a lot of time on my deck with friends. every month they have a couple events at the club house my favorite one recently was grocery bingo. the bus stop is also very close and convenient for getting to campus. the 24/7 gym is also great it’s free to use for residents and i definitely used it a bit. spent a bit at the pool swimming and hangout with friends and even the friendly people ...
    in the clubhouse came out to talk and bring popsicles for everyone at the pool on hot days. property was always well maintained and the community is always friendly and fun. i’m graduating this year but sad to be leaving copper beech. highly recommend living at copper with your friends each get there own space and bathroom as well.
