    Verve has been an awesome place to live. We love that it's very dog friendly with quite a bit of green space and is located right next to the river with miles and miles of walking trails! Building is very clean, friendly staff, well decorated, and updated.

    December 6, 2018
    Would recommend the Verve, property management does a great job with interacting with tenants, the apartments are spacious with great finishes, and the apartment will share the pool amenity when construction is done on Velocity across the street.

    The Verve apartments are a great place to live. The apartments themselves are sleek, modern, and have a great view of downtown. They provide a fitness room, social events once a week, a game room, and a TV room. The indoor parking is a plus. The walls are thick, which makes it a quiet place to live.
