The staff was unhelpful throughout the entire lease signing and move in process. I went in sight unseen and it was very difficult to even receive a video of the unit without having to contact the leasing team multiple times.

I love living here. It’s quiet, beautiful, clean, and everything is friendly and professional. It’s brand new and you can tell they put a lot of effort into the design. My unit was designed so well, with built in storage and cabinets everywhere. I barely need any other furniture which is great. Very pet friendly, great gym, great rooftop (no pool but that doesn’t bother me), and many lounging areas. It also feels VERY safe!
