Do not live here. Local Management team is terrible!
The management team is terrible. They send nasty and aggressive emails to residents. They don’t answer emails or phone calls. Find somewhere else to live.

Except for one year when I moved to the beach for one year, I’ve been very happy here for 11 years, and I hope to stay here for many more. I’ve lived in 3 different apts as my circumstances have changed and I‘ve loved each one! The apts are bright & sunny with big windows flanked by trees &greenery, the buildings are beautiful, the amenities are great ( wonderful pool, gym, tennis courts, outdoor grill, a common room used for special events, appliances continue to function very well, an... on-site police person here all night - it’s a very pretty place to live! And the neighborhood is WONDERFUL! Nearby grocery stores, restaurants, clothing & specialty stores, a new medical center across the street, near I-77, Trenholm Plaza - -everything is so convenient and easily accessible! I’ve loved it here!!!!
