    Pretty quiet neighborhood and staff is very nice and helpful. It is a little expensive for a small space, but overall a great place to live. I love that it has a gate.

    Everything is going well since the summer, and thankfully nothing major has happened. I also really have been enjoying the pool when I go during my off time.

    Overall it has been a good experience and decent student apartments with very nice staff; however move in was not pretty. The apartment was filthy. Dog and Cat food was spilled on the back patio everywhere, couch was covered in dog hair. I quickly brought up these issues and was able to get services to help clean and make repairs.

    So far good, Maintenace works fast, but the fact that a lot of maintenance is needed, takes away a star. Alot of things were dirty, I have no way in cleaning my outdoor patio right now that has spiders and wssps nest but At least I can mop the tiles inside. Gym should be open 24/7 in my opinion but closes early and opens late-ish. the pool is pretty though.

    Moving into Dakota Ranch has been a smooth and enjoyable experience. The staff has been incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the entire process, making sure I had everything I needed. The complex itself is well-maintained, with clean facilities and beautifully landscaped grounds that create a pleasant environment to come home to. My apartment was in excellent condition upon arrival, and any minor issues were quickly addressed by the maintenance team. The amenities, like the pool and ...
    fitness center, are a great bonus, adding to the overall appeal of the place. The community feels friendly and safe, with neighbors who are respectful and courteous. I'm really looking forward to settling in and making Dakota Ranch my new home. Overall, it's been a fantastic start, and I feel confident that I made the right choice.

    Life here is great. I really enjoy all of the amenities that they offer here as well as the hiking trail that they have inside of the apartment complex that you can go hike.

    Great location, very quiet area, and good amenities. I’m very happy to have a walking trail right by the complex. The staff is also very helpful.
