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! She showed me apartments, told me exactly what I needed to do to get in one, and helped me with the orientation process. Thank you!Property Manager Responded

February 12, 2025The Francis staff, shoutout to Tiara, Catherine, and Claudia, have been nothing but professional and helpful during my move in. Tiara was super helpful and knowledgeable working with me to find the right floor plan and view. Claudia exhibited empathy and probity to help resolve a minor issue with my move in. Catherine has been a great resource and helping logistically get settled in my unit. I look forward to enjoying my new apartment and look forward to being a resident here.Property Manager Responded
