  • Amazing!

    October 23, 2024
    I have loved every moment of living at the Grove. There are SO MANY community events. All of the staff are very intelligent and helpful. I am in a 3 bed/3 bath layout and think the price is perfectly fitting. The apartments are also super close to Jack Trice, so PERFECT for game days to walk right over. Maintenance is speedy, packages are ready for pickup quickly and I always feel safe living here.
