So far so good have been in for about a week, only downside is the shower and some outlets not working. Quiet at night too except my windows is facing the light even with the shades on it’s kinda bright.

I enjoy the quiet community and the nice staff. The community isn’t too far away from grocery stores or a highway. The road that it’s located on is also a quiet road and you can rarely hear anything outside of the apartment.

I moved in a few days ago, and I think that this is a great place to live. However, there are a few inconveniences. First, the centralization of the mail storage system makes it less efficient to retrieve mail. It would be more efficient to install mail storage systems in each building, allowing residents to access their mail more easily. Second, there is no sidewalk in the residential community. The complex looks like it was designed with the assumption that all residents would have cars, so it... is more car-friendly and does not have any sidewalks from the community to the bus stop. Third, there is only one air conditioner per apartment, requiring residents to keep their bedroom doors open at night to keep their bedrooms cool. It's more convenient to install air conditioners in each bedroom, allowing residents to keep their bedrooms cool at night while preserving their privacy. This approach will also help each resident control the cooling level in their bedroom.
