So far so good! We just moved in and are loving the convenience of the location and the amenities. Move in was great - we immediately, easily and safely walked to the Lowes Grocery Store for supplies and then to Boca Grande for dinner. The gym is amazing. The halls are quiet and smell good. Everyone in the complex is nice and friendly. Parking is a breeze and the unit was spotless when we moved in.
