    I love the security of the premises. Electronic locks, hallways are kept lighted24x7, gated parking. The apartments are designed beautifully with quartz countertops, stainless steel kitchen appliances, whirlpool washer and dryers. The pool area is well maintained, staff is very friendly. Secure mailroom and package lockers. Convenient location to shopping, schools and the beach. Oh and nice dog park!
