February 23, 2025I've been living in my apartment for 1 year now, and it's been a very positive experience overall. The community is friendly and welcoming, which has made settling in much easier. The location is convenient, with easy access to local amenities and transportation. The apartment itself is comfortable and well-maintained, providing a great environment to come home to after a busy day. However, a major challenge is the limited availability of EV chargers. They are often in high demand, making it ...difficult to charge my vehicle as needed. If this issue is not addressed, I may have to consider relocating in the future.Property Manager Responded
February 25, 2025Thank you for your review! We are thrilled to hear you are loving life at The Francis. We know EV charges are becoming more in demand and will certainly look into a project for this!

February 21, 2025Tiara in the leasing office was great! She is kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I met with her on Wednesday and am moving in on Saturday!
